Organizing nanoparticles into pinwheel shapes offers new twist on engineered materials
Researchers have developed a new strategy to help build materials with unique optical, magnetic, electronic and catalytic properties. These pinwheel-shaped structures self-assemble from nanoparticles and exhibit a characteristic called chirality — one of nature’s strategies to build complexity into structures at all scales, from molecules to galaxies.
