Chirality in Liquid Crystals: from Microscopic Origins to Macroscopic Structure [PDF]

, 1997
Molecular chirality leads to a wonderful variety of equilibrium structures, from the simple cholesteric phase to the twist-grain-boundary phases, and it is responsible for interesting and technologically important materials like ferroelectric liquid ...

Peptide‐Induced Ferroelectricity in Charge‐Transfer Supramolecular Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired supramolecular charge‐transfer amphiphiles self‐assemble into nanoribbons in water, where peptide chirality‐induced symmetry breaking generates robust ferroelectricity across multiple systems. These water‐processable organic ferroelectrics also enhance neuronal outgrowth and electrophysiological maturity, offering a versatile strategy for ...

Spiral Galaxies as Enantiomers: Chirality, an Underlying Feature in Chemistry and Astrophysics

, 2005
Spiral galaxies are axi-symmetric objects showing 2D-chirality when projected onto a plane. Features in common with tetrahedral molecules are pointed out, in particular the existence of a preferred chiral modality for genetic galaxies as in aminoacids ...

Neutral‐pH Electropolymerization of Aniline on Hierarchically Porous Laser‐Induced Graphene Electrodes for Dual Biosensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Neutral‐pH electropolymerization of aniline on laser‐induced graphene (LIG) produces stable, brush‐like polyaniline coatings without requiring acidic conditions. The resulting PANI–LIG electrodes exhibit enhanced electroactive surface area, efficient charge transfer, and dual sensing capability for β‐blockers and pH, providing a scalable platform ...

Utility of essential oils for development of host-based lures for Xyleborus glabratus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), vector of laurel wilt

Open Chemistry, 2018
Redbay ambrosia beetle, Xyleborus glabratus, is native to Southeast Asia, but subsequent to introduction in Georgia in 2002, it has become a serious invasive pest in the USA, now established in nine southeastern states. Females vector Raffaelea lauricola,

Bay‐functionalized [7]Helicene Bilayer Nanographenes

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Bay‐functionalized [7]helical bilayer nanographenes are synthesized via a scalable, modular strategy enabling late‐stage diversification. Tailored methoxy, diketone, and phenazine substitutions precisely tune redox, photophysical, and chiroptical properties, delivering strong electronic circular dichroism and bright circularly polarized luminescence ...
