Another study focused on the self-assembly of filamentous viruses into chiral liquid crystal phases. This research demonstrated that chirality transfer occurs through electrostatic interactions ...

My recent work explores this concept by showing how a triangular pattern is formed from the clustering of small, localized vortices in a droplet of a chiral liquid crystal, which we have named ...

A study demonstrated that a three-dimensional chiral liquid crystal with simple cubic symmetry can create a large-angle PVG with circular-polarization selectivity. This tunability is achieved by ...

These are highly chiral liquid crystals. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-50935-4 The team used extensive particle-based simulations to demonstrate that achiral hard ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...
