Control over the emerging chirality in supramolecular gels and solutions by chiral microvortices in milliseconds
Symmetry breaking and chiral amplification are fundamental principles in chemistry and biology but the control of initial chiral bias remains a great challenge. Here the authors show that chiral microvortices can lead to a selection of initial chiral bias of supramolecular systems composed of achira...
