Chirality is a property of asymmetry resulting, for an object, from the non-superposition of its image in a mirror. The notion of symmetry breaking, inherent in the organization of matter, the formation of new structural edifices, and, more fundamentally, weak interactions, is omnipresent. From the physics of elementary particles to molecules of the living world and functional organisms, to climatic phenomena inducing vortices of forces, chirality often plays a crucial role. It is also a conception of geometry exploited in design fields and man-made constructions for its functionality and uniqueness…< Réduire
