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 ...

For the first time, they achieved asymmetric (chiral) living polymerization of optically active polyisocyanides using liquid crystals with chiral (mirror-image isomer) structures as a solvent.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
