Flow-induced periodic chiral structures in an achiral nematic liquid crystal

Flow-induced periodic chiral structures in an achiral nematic liquid crystal

Supramolecular chirality typically originates from either chiral molecular building blocks or external chiral stimuli. Generating chirality in achiral systems in the absence of a chiral input, however, is non-trivial and necessitates spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking. Achiral nematic lyotropic ch...
