Breaking translational symmetry via polymer chain overcrowding in molecular bottlebrush crystallization

One of the fundamental laws in crystallization is translational symmetry but breaking translational symmetry can be used as a general route towards the design of nanostructures. Here the authors show that overcrowding in molecular bottlebrush polymers allows for spontaneous formation of spherical ho...
