Magnetic and chiral bands have been a hot subject for more than twenty years.Therefore, quite large volumes of experimental data as well as theoreticaldescriptions have been accumulated. Although some of the formalisms are not soeasy to handle, the results agree impressively well with the data. Theobjective of this paper is to review the actual status of both experimental andtheoretical investigations. Aiming at making this material accessible to alarge variety of readers, including young students and researchers, I gave somedetails on the schematic models which are able to unveil the main features ofchirality in nuclei. Also, since most formalisms use a rigid triaxial rotor forthe nuclear system's core, I devoted some space to the semi-classicaldescription of the rigid triaxial as well as of the tilted triaxial rotor. Inorder to answer the question whether the chiral phenomenon is spread over thewhole nuclear chart and whether it is specific only to a certain type ofnuclei, odd-odd, odd-even or even-even, the current results in the mass regionsof $A\sim 60,80,100,130,180,200$ are briefly described for all kinds ofodd/even-odd/even systems. The chiral geometry is a sufficient condition for asystem of proton-particle, neutron-hole and a triaxial rotor to have theelectromagnetic properties of chiral bands. In order to prove that suchgeometry is not unique for generating magnetic bands with chiral features, Ipresented a mechanism for a new type of chiral bands. One tries to underlinethe fact that this rapidly developing field is very successful in pushingforward nuclear structure studies.
