Emergent chirality and current generation

We investigate the phenomenon of producing vibration-induced rotational motion in a cylinder filled with achiral rods and being vibrated by an external drive. The arrangement of the rods develops chirality as a result of the interaction of gravity and steric hindrance, which is responsible for the i...
