Chirality-controlled crystallization via screw dislocations
Understanding why and how molecules transfer their chirality into helical superstructures, including crystals, remains a challenge. Here, the authors show that topological defects not only promote the growth, but also control the helical morphology of crystals formed by chiral rod-shaped particles.
