In the last century, molecular crystals functioned predominantly as a means for determining
the molecular structures via X-ray diffraction, albeit as the century came to a close the …

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in synthetic and biological systems, broadly defined
as the spontaneous organization of multiple subunits (macromolecules, particles, etc.) into …

We explore the potential of nanocrystals (a term used equivalently to nanoparticles) as
building blocks for nanomaterials, and the current advances and open challenges for …

Many crystals grow as banded spherulites from the melt with an optical rhythm indicative of
helicoidal twisting. In this work, 23 of 41 charge transfer complexes (CTCs) are grown with …

Two books that describe the forms of thin films of many molecular crystals grown from the
melt in polarized light,“Gedrillte” Kristalle (1929) by Ferdinand Bernauer and …

Tailor-made additives (TMAs) have found a role in crystal morphology engineering and
control by specific binding to crystal surfaces through stereo-chemical recognition. The utility …

The reversible transformation of a nanohelix is one of the most exquisite and important
phenomena in nature. However, nanomaterials usually fail to twist into helical crystals …

Nanoscale chirality is an actively growing research field spurred by the giant chiroptical
activity, enantioselective biological activity, and asymmetric catalytic activity of chiral …

More than one-quarter of molecular crystals that are able to be melted can be made to grow
in the form of twisted lamellae or fibers. The mechanisms leading to such unusual crystal …

We use computational modeling to investigate the assembly thermodynamics of a particle-
based model for geometrically frustrated assembly, in which the local packing geometry of …
