Abstract: Bilayers of chiral molecules can self-assemble into twisted and tubular structures, as was recently shown with chiral molecular constituents such as ssDNA-amphiphiles. I show that the dynamics of the transition between these topologies is driven… read more here.

Abstract: We demonstrate that an achiral stretching force transforms disk-shaped colloidal membranes composed of chiral rods into twisted ribbons with handedness opposite the preferred twist of the rods. Using an experimental technique that enforces torque-free boundary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1701483
Abstract: Organic ligands can induce twist on nanometer-thin crystalline platelets and on their self-assembled ribbons. The emergence of chirality is a central issue in chemistry, materials science, and biology. In nanoparticle assemblies, chirality has been shown… read more here.
