Chirality describes the geometric property of an object that is not superimposable on its
mirror image and has been a pivotal concept in chemistry and biology since the 19th …

Chirality of nanomaterials is a rapidly evolving field, largely driven by the unique optical,
electronic, magnetic or catalytic properties of plasmonic, magnetic and semiconductor …

The vast majority of nanomaterials studied in light of their ability to transmit chirality to or
amplify their chirality in a surrounding medium, constitute an achiral core with chirality solely …

The creation and transmission of chirality in molecular systems is a well-known, widely
applied notion. Our understanding of how the chirality of nanomaterials can be controlled …

Chromonic liquid crystals are lyotropic materials which are attracting growing interest for
their adaptability to living systems. To describe their elastic properties, the classical Oseen …

In this work, we validate that cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), surface-functionalized with pro-
mesogenic azobenzene pendants, can act as photoswitchable chiral solutes in a nematic …

Chiroptical material is an intriguing and rapidly evolving field in nanomaterial research to
alter and improve the optical interaction of hybrid composites with incident light. In this …

Noble metal nanoclusters (M NCs), defined as an aggregation of a few to tens of atoms, are
considered a borderline between atoms and metal nanoparticles (M NPs), which tends to …

Chromonic liquid crystals constitute a novel lyotropic phase, whose elastic properties have
so far been modeled within the classical Oseen-Frank theory, provided that the twist …

In this work, we demonstrate control of the handedness of semicrystalline modulated helical
nanofilaments (HNFmods) formed by achiral bent-core liquid crystal molecules by axially …
