Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

Studies have shown that chiral MIMs can be constructed using achiral components by leveraging mechanical bonds the right way. Since the chirality appears solely from specific co-conformations ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like ...

A combined team of researchers from the Weizmann Institute and the Israel Institute of Technology, both in Israel, has developed a way to create a chiral polymer from achiral monomers using a ...

Here, globally homochiral two-dimensional assemblies of achiral molecules are formed via co-assembly with chiral co-adsorbers, demonstrating a ‘majority rules’ effect.

A chiral molecule is first used as the template. Achiral (or non-chiral) nanoparticles are then assembled on this template, allowing them to mimic the structure of the chiral molecule.

Diao and her colleagues observed something different. Under the right conditions, achiral conjugated polymers can depart from the norm and assemble into chiral structures.

A first study, published in Nature Communications ("Chiral plasmonic superlattices from template-assisted assembly of achiral nanoparticles"), showcases self-assembled chiral plasmonic architectures ...
