Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

Since the discovery of the liquid‐crystalline state of matter 125 years ago, this field has
developed into a scientific area with many facets. This Review presents recent …

The successful assembly of large supramolecular structures infers a delicate balance
