3D Hierarchical Twists in Polar Fluids: Chirality Regulation by Ultralow Electric Field (Adv. Mater. 10/2026)

Electrically Chirality Regulation in Polar Fluids This research demonstrates the controlled manipulation of multi-scale chirality in polar fluids, elucidating the interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic twists. In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202513451), Hiroya Nishikawa, Fumito Araoka, and co-workers reveal that the sense of the macroscopic π-twist and the heliconical polar structure are strongly coupled, and that this coupling can be precisely controlled by applying an ultralow DC voltage and regulating its direction.
