Resumen de Chiral selection under swirling: From a concept to its realization in soft-matter self-assembly
Josep Claret, Jordi Ignés Mullol, Francesc Sagués Mestre
Chirality, i.e., the absence of mirror symmetry, is evident in nature and has profound implications in the field of Biology but also in Materials Science. The aim of this contribution is: (i) to concisely present the basic concepts and definitions related to chirality and (ii) to briefly summarize our own research into the induction of chiral selection under vortical motion during the self-assembly of soft-matter aggregates.
