Chirality Transfer via Orientational Order of Micellar Assemblies on Gold Nanocrystals
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A mechanism for chiral growth of Au nanocrystals mediated by orientational order of chiral micelles at seed surfaces is demonstrated. 3D electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations reveal how alignment of the micelles along crystal directions and torsion–orientation coupling govern chirality transfer, providing a framework to rationalize ...

Insect–Plant Interactions: A Multilayered Relationship
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2020 AbstractDuring herbivory, insects recognize their host plant based on specific chemical cues, whereas the plants induce various chemical and morphological defense responses to resist this attack. However, the seemingly bidirectional insect–plant interaction involves various confounding aspects that influence the performance and fitness of the two ...
