• Resumen

  • Chirality, i.e., the absence of mirror symmetry, is evident in nature and has profound implications in the field of Biology but also in Materials Science. The aim of this contribution is: (i) to concisely present the basic concepts and definitions related to chirality and (ii) to briefly summarize our own research into the induction of chiral selection under vortical motion during the self-assembly of soft-matter aggregates.
