Abstract
Binary superparticles formed by self-assembling two different types of nanoparticles may utilize the synergistic interactions and create advanced multifunctional materials. Bi-magnetic superparticles with a core-shell structure have unique properties due to their specific spatial configurations. Herein, we built Mn3O4@Ni core-shell binary superparticles via an emulsion self-assembly technique. The superparticles are generated with a spherical morphology, and have a typical average size of about 240 nm. By altering the ratio of the two magnetic nanoparticles, the thickness of Ni shells can be adjusted. Oleic acid ligands are crucial for the formation of core-shell structure. Magnetic analysis suggests that core-shell superparticles display dual-phase magnetic interactions, contrasting with the single-phase magnetic behaviors of commonly core-shell magnetic nanoparticles. The calculation on the effective magnetic anisotropy constants indicates that the presence of Ni shell layers reduces the dipole interactions among the Mn3O4 core particles. Due to the presence of Ni nanoparticle shells, the blocking temperature of Mn3O4 is reduced, while the Curie temperature of Mn3O4 is independent on Ni content. Tunable magnetic properties can be achieved by modulating the Ni nanoparticle shell thickness. This study offers insights for the development of core-shell superparticles with varied magnetic characteristics.

Abstract
The structure of supraparticles (SPs) is a key parameter for achieving advanced functionalities arising from the combination of different nanoparticle (NP) types in one hierarchical entity. However, whenever a droplet-assisted forced assembly approach is used, e.g., spray-drying, the achievable structure is limited by the inherent drying phenomena of the method. In particular, mixed NP dispersions of differently sized colloids are heavily affected by segregation during the assembly. Herein, the influence of the colloidal arrangement of Pt and SiO2 NPs within a single supraparticulate entity is investigated. A salt-based electrostatic manipulation approach of the utilized NPs is proposed to customize the structure of spray-dried Pt/SiO2 SPs. By this, size-dependent separation phenomena of NPs during solvent evaporation, that limit the catalytic performance in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, are overcome by achieving even Pt NP distribution. Additionally, the textural properties (pore size and distribution) of the SiO2 pore framework are altered to improve the mass transfer within the material leading to increased catalytic activity. The suggested strategy demonstrates a powerful, material-independent, and universally applicable approach to deliberately customize the structure and functionality of multi-component SP systems. This opens up new ways of colloidal material combinations and structural designs in droplet-assisted forced assembly approaches like spray-drying.

Abstract
Integrating the plasmonic chirality with excellent catalytic activities in plasmonic hybrid nanostructures provides a promising strategy to realize the chiral nanocatalysis toward many chemical reactions. However, the controllable synthesis of catalytically active chiral plasmonic nanoparticles with tailored geometries and compositions remains a significant challenge. Here it is demonstrated that chiral Au-Pd alloy nanorods with tunable optical chirality and catalytically active surfaces can be achieved by a seed-mediated coreduction growth method. Through manipulating the chiral inducers, Au nanorods selectively transform into two different intrinsically chiral Au-Pd alloy nanorods with distinct geometric chirality and tunable optical chirality. By further adjusting several key synthetic parameters, the optical chirality, composition, and geometry of the chiral Au-Pd nanorods are fine-tailored. More importantly, the chiral Au-Pd alloy nanorods exhibit appealing chiral catalytic activities as well as polarization-dependent plasmon-enhanced nanozyme catalytic activity, which has great potential for chiral nanocatalysis and plasmon-induced chiral photochemistry.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with biomimetic catalytic abilities have attracted significant attention. However, the stereoselectivity of natural enzymes determined by their unique configurations is difficult to imitate. In this work, a kind of chiral CuxCoyS-CuzS nanoflowers (L/D-Pen-NFs) is developed, using porous CuxCoyS nanoparticles (NPs) as stamens, CuzS sheets as petals, and chiral penicillamine as surface stabilizers. Compared to the natural laccase enzyme, L/D-Pen-NFs exhibit significant advantages in catalytic efficiency, stability against harsh environments, recyclability, and convenience in construction. Most importantly, they display high enantioselectivity toward chiral neurotransmitters, which is proved by L- and D-Pen-NFs' different catalytic efficiencies toward chiral enantiomers. L-Pen-NFs are more efficient in catalyzing the oxidation of L-epinephrine and L-dopamine compared with D-Pen-NFs. However, their catalytic efficiency in oxidizing L-norepinephrine and L-DOPA is lower than that of D-Pen-NFs. The reason for the difference in catalytic efficiency is the distinct binding affinities between CuxCoyS-CuzS nano-enantiomers and chiral molecules. This work can spur the development of chiral nanostructures with biomimetic functions.

Abstract
Chirality in gold nanostructures offers an exciting opportunity to tune their differential optical response to left- and right-handed circularly polarized light, as well as their interactions with biomolecules and living matter. However, tuning and understanding such interactions demands quantification of the structural features that are responsible for the chiral behavior. Electron tomography (ET) enables structural characterization at the single-particle level and has been used to quantify the helicity of complex chiral nanorods. However, the technique is time-consuming and consequently lacks statistical value. To address this issue, we introduce herein a high-throughput methodology that combines images acquired by secondary electron-based electron beam-induced current (SEEBIC) with quantitative image analysis. As a result, the geometric chirality of hundreds of nanoparticles can be quantified in less than 1 h. When combining the drastic gain in data collection efficiency of SEEBIC with a limited number of ET data sets, a better understanding of how the chiral structure of individual chiral nanoparticles translates into the ensemble chiroptical response can be reached.

Abstract
Nature has exhibited a high degree of control over the structures and functions. Supramolecules have been utilized to mimic the subtle assembly in nature. However, sophisticated synthesis of molecular skeletons or programmable design of the driving forces raises great challenges in fabricating high-level superstructures in a controlled manner. Natural polyphenols show great promises as building blocks for a diverse of assemblies with controlled structures and functionalities. The intrinsically embedded phenolic groups (i. e., catechol and galloyl groups) are readily forming multiple molecular interactions, including coordination, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions with various materials of inorganic particles, organic compounds, synthetic polymers, and biomacromolecules, providing the self-assembled structures or nanocoating on surfaces. Subsequent assembly occurred by further bonding of polyphenols to construct supraparticles. To gain control over the self-assembly, the key lies in the interplay among the molecular interactions with one or two being dominant. In this Perspective, we introduce the representative polyphenol-based assemblies and their derived supraparticles to exhibit the effective harness of the controlled self-assembly by polyphenols.

Abstract
Machine learning holds significant research potential in the field of nanotechnology, enabling nanomaterial structure and property predictions, facilitating materials design and discovery, and reducing the need for time-consuming and labor-intensive experiments and simulations. In contrast to their achiral counterparts, the application of machine learning for chiral nanomaterials is still in its infancy, with a limited number of publications to date. This is despite the great potential of machine learning to advance the development of new sustainable chiral materials with high values of optical activity, circularly polarized luminescence, and enantioselectivity, as well as for the analysis of structural chirality by electron microscopy. In this review, an analysis of machine learning methods used for studying achiral nanomaterials is provided, subsequently offering guidance on adapting and extending this work to chiral nanomaterials. An overview of chiral nanomaterials within the framework of synthesis-structure-property-application relationships is presented and insights on how to leverage machine learning for the study of these highly complex relationships are provided. Some key recent publications are reviewed and discussed on the application of machine learning for chiral nanomaterials. Finally, the review captures the key achievements, ongoing challenges, and the prospective outlook for this very important research field.

Modulation by Co (II) Ion of Optical Activities of L/D-glutathione (GSH)-modified Chiral Copper Nanoclusters for Sensitive Adenosine Triphosphate Detection. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202401032.

Abstract
Chiral nanoscale enantiomers exhibit different biological effects in living systems. However, their chirality effect on the detection sensitivity for chiral biological targets still needs to be explored. Here, we discovered that Co2+ can modulate the luminescence performance of L/D-glutathione (GSH)-modified copper nanoclusters (L/D-Cu NCs) and induce strong chiroptical activities as the asymmetric factor was enhanced 223-fold with their distribution regulating from the ultraviolet to visible region. One Co2+ coordinated with two GSH molecules that modified on the surface of Cu NCs in the way of CoN2O2. On this basis, dual-modal chiral and luminescent signals of Co2+ coordinated L/D-Cu NCs (L/D-Co-Cu NCs) were used to detect the chiral adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on the competitive interaction between surficial GSH and ATP molecules with Co2+. The limits of detection of ATP obtained with fluorescence and circular dichroism intensity were 9.15 μM and 15.75 nM for L-Co-Cu NCs, and 5.35 μM and 4.69 nM for D-Co-Cu NCs. This demonstrated that selecting suitable chiral configurations of nanoprobes effectively enhances detection sensitivity. This study presents not only a novel method to modulate and enhance the chiroptical activity of nanomaterials but also a unique perspective of chirality effects on the detection performances for bio-targets.

Abstract
Chirality is common in nature, which determines the high enantioselectivity of living systems. Selecting suitable chiral configurations is of great meaning for nanostructures to function better in biological systems. In this study, chiral Co3O4-H2TPPS-Au (CoHAu) nanoassemblies are constructed to accelerate the production ∙OH by consuming D-glucose (D-Glu, widely spread in nature) based on their outstanding enantioselective cascade-catalytic abilities. In particular, D-CoHAu nanoassemblies are more effective in the catalytic conversion of D-Glu than L-CoHAu nanoassemblies. This phenomenon is due to the stronger binding affinity of D-CoHAu nanoassemblies indicated by the lower Km value. Moreover, D-CoHAu nanoassemblies display excellent consumption-ability of D-Glu and production of ∙OH in living cells, which can eliminate senescent cells effectively based on their intracellular enantioselective cascade-catalysis. This research establishes the foundation for bio-mimicking nanostructures with unique functionalities to regulate abnormal biological activities better.

Abstract
The incessant mutations of viruses, variable immune responses, and likely emergence of new viral threats necessitate multiple approaches to novel antiviral therapeutics. Furthermore, the new antiviral agents should have broad-spectrum activity and be environmentally stable. Here, we show that biocompatible tapered CuS nanoparticles (NPs) efficiently agglutinate coronaviruses with binding affinity dependent on the chirality of surface ligands and particle shape. L-penicillamine-stabilized NPs with left-handed curved apexes display half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) as low as 0.66 pM (1.4 ng/mL) and 0.57 pM (1.2 ng/mL) for pseudo-type SARS-CoV-2 viruses and wild-type Wuhan-1 SARS-CoV-2 viruses, respectively, which are about 1,100 times lower than those for antibodies (0.73 nM). Benefiting from strong NPs-protein interactions, the same particles are also effective against other strains of coronaviruses, such as HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, and SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants with IC50 values below 10 pM (21.8 ng/mL). Considering rapid response to outbreaks, exposure to elevated temperatures causes no change in the antiviral activity of NPs while antibodies are completely deactivated. Testing in mice indicates that the chirality-optimized NPs can serve as thermally stable analogs of antiviral biologics complementing the current spectrum of treatments.

Abstract
Chirality is a widespread phenomenon in nature and in living organisms and plays an important role in living systems. The sensitive discrimination of chiral molecular enantiomers remains a challenge in the fields of chemistry and biology. Establishing a simple, fast, and efficient strategy to discriminate the spatial configuration of chiral molecular enantiomers is of great significance. Chiral perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have attracted much attention because of their excellent optical activity. However, it is a challenge to prepare perovskites with both chiral and fluorescence properties for chiral sensing. In this work, we synthesized two chiral fluorescent perovskite nanocrystal assembly (PNA) enantiomers by using l- or d-phenylalanine (Phe) as chiral ligands. PNA exhibited good fluorescence recognition for l- and d-proline (Pro). Homochiral interaction led to fluorescence enhancement, while heterochiral interaction led to fluorescence quenching, and there is a good linear relationship between the fluorescence changing rate and l- or d-Pro concentration. Mechanism studies show that homochiral interaction-induced fluorescence enhancement is attributed to the disassembly of chiral PNA, while no disassembly of chiral PNA was found in heterochiral interaction-induced fluorescence quenching, which is attributed to the substitution of Phe on the surface of chiral PNA by heterochiral Pro. This work suggests that chiral perovskite can be used for chiral fluorescence sensing; it will inspire the development of chiral nanomaterials and chiral optical sensors.

Chiral hybrid nanomaterials with multiple components provide a highly promising approach for the integration of desired chirality with other functionalities into one single nanoscale entity. However, precise control over multicomponent chiral plasmonic hybrid nanomaterials to enable their application in diverse and complex scenarios remains a significant challenge. In this review, our focus lies on the recent advances in the preparation and application of multicomponent chiral plasmonic hybrid nanomaterials, with an emphasis on synthetic strategies and emerging applications. We first systematically elucidate preparation methods for multicomponent chiral plasmonic hybrid nanomaterials encompassing the following approaches: physical deposition approach, galvanic replacement reaction, chiral molecule-mediated, chiral heterostructure, circularly polarized light-mediated, magnetically induced, and chiral assembly. Furthermore, we highlight emerging applications of multicomponent chiral plasmonic hybrid nanomaterials in chirality sensing, enantioselective catalysis, and biomedicine. Finally, we provide an outlook on the challenges and opportunities in the field of multicomponent chiral plasmonic hybrid nanomaterials. In-depth investigations of these multicomponent chiral hybrid nanomaterials will pave the way for the rational design of chiral hybrid nanostructures with desirable functionalities for emerging technological applications.

Abstract
Applying galvanic replacement reactions (GRRs) to the host chiral nanoparticles (CNPs) is an exclusive method to generate alloy CNPs with mesoporous structures through chirality transfer. However, the GRR-mediated chirality transfer is too inefficient to impose strong optical activities on the alloy mesoporous CNPs (or m-CNPs). Here we dope the host with gold (Au) to significantly enhance the chirality transfer, and additionally employ the Au adhesion layer to increase the production yield (PY) of binary m-CNPs.

Abstract
The chemical, physical and biological effects of chiral nanomaterials have inspired general interest and demonstrated important advantages in fundamental science. Here, chiral iron oxide supraparticles (Fe3 O4 SPs) modified by chiral penicillamine (Pen) molecules with g-factor of ≈2 × 10-3 at 415 nm are fabricated, and these SPs act as high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. Therein, the transverse relaxation efficiency and T2 -MRI results demonstrated chiral Fe3 O4 SPs have a r2 relaxivity of 157.39 ± 2.34 mM-1 ·S-1 for D-Fe3 O4 SPs and 136.21 ± 1.26 mM-1 ·S-1 for L-Fe3 O4 SPs due to enhanced electronic transition dipole moment for D-Fe3 O4 SPs compared with L-Fe3 O4 SPs. The in vivo MRI results show that D-Fe3 O4 SPs exhibit two-fold lower contrast ratio than L-Fe3 O4 SPs, which enhances targeted enrichment in tumor tissue, such as prostate cancer, melanoma and brain glioma tumors. Notably, it is found that D-Fe3 O4 SPs have 7.7-fold higher affinity for the tumor cell surface receptor cluster-of-differentiation 47 (CD47) than L-Fe3 O4 SPs. These findings uncover that chiral Fe3 O4 SPs act as a highly effective MRI contrast agent for targeting and imaging broad tumors, thus accelerating the practical application of chiral nanomaterials and deepening the understanding of chirality in biological and non-biological environments.

Abstract
The simulation of metals, oxides, and hydroxides can accelerate the design of therapeutics, alloys, catalysts, cement-based materials, ceramics, bioinspired composites, and glasses. Here we introduce the INTERFACE force field (IFF) and surface models for α-Al2O3, α-Cr2O3, α-Fe2O3, NiO, CaO, MgO, β-Ca(OH)2, β-Mg(OH)2, and β-Ni(OH)2. The force field parameters are nonbonded, including atomic charges for Coulomb interactions, Lennard-Jones (LJ) potentials for van der Waals interactions with 12-6 and 9-6 options, and harmonic bond stretching for hydroxide ions. The models outperform DFT calculations and earlier atomistic models (Pedone, ReaxFF, UFF, CLAYFF) up to 2 orders of magnitude in reliability, compatibility, and interpretability due to a quantitative representation of chemical bonding consistent with other compounds across the periodic table and curated experimental data for validation. The IFF models exhibit average deviations of 0.2% in lattice parameters, <10% in surface energies (to the extent known), and 6% in bulk moduli relative to experiments. The parameters and models can be used with existing parameters for solvents, inorganic compounds, organic compounds, biomolecules, and polymers in IFF, CHARMM, CVFF, AMBER, OPLS-AA, PCFF, and COMPASS, to simulate bulk oxides, hydroxides, electrolyte interfaces, and multiphase, biological, and organic hybrid materials at length scales from atoms to micrometers. The nonbonded character of the models also enables the analysis of mixed oxides, glasses, and certain chemical reactions, and well-performing nonbonded models for silica phases, SiO2, are introduced. Automated model building is available in the CHARMM-GUI Nanomaterial Modeler. We illustrate applications of the models to predict the structure of mixed oxides, and energy barriers of ion migration, as well as binding energies of water and organic molecules in outstanding agreement with experimental data and calculations at the CCSD(T) level. Examples of model building for hydrated, pH-sensitive oxide surfaces to simulate solid-electrolyte interfaces are discussed.

Abstract
Understanding origin of asymmetric information encoded on chiral nanozymes is important in mediating enantioselective catalysis. Herein, the supramolecular chiral nanozymes constructed from P/M-polyaniline (P/M-PANI) nanotwists and metal ions (M2+ , M = Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn) are designed through thioglycolic acid (TA) without chiral molecules to show the regulated catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity. With combination of chiral environment from supramolecular scaffolds and catalytic center from metal ions, the P-PANI-TA-M2+ as nanozymes show preference to 3,4-dihydroxy-S-phenylalanine (S-DOPA) oxidation while the M-PANI-TA-M2+ show better selectivity to R-DOPA oxidation. Among them, though the Cu2+ doped supramolecular nanotwists show the highest catalytic efficiency, the Co2+ doped ones with moderate catalytic efficiency can exhibit the best enantioselectivity with select factor as high as 2.07. The molecular dynamic (MD) simulation clarifies the mechanism of enantioselective catalysis caused by the differential kinetics with S/R-DOPA enantiomers adsorbed on chiral PANI surface and free in solution. This work systematically studies the synergistic effect between the chiral supramolecular nanostructures assembled by achiral species and metal ions as peroxidase-like catalytic centers to regulate the enantioselectivity, providing deep understanding of the origin of asymmetric catalysis and serving as strong foundation to guide the design of nanozymes with high enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Chiral nanomaterials with different functions have been widely developed, but the deep understanding of the structural effects of nanocatalysts on enantioselective photocatalytic efficiency is still highly demanded. Herein, Pt and Pt-Au-bimetal-doped chiral nanostructures with various morphologies and compositions are facilely constructed using L-/D-arginine (L-/D-Arg) and mono-sulfonate tetraphenyl porphyrin (H2TPPS) assemblies as chiral templates. Interestingly, these Pt and Pt-Au-doped chiral nanostructures, including nanorods (NR) and nanospheres (NS), can be well regulated by controlling pH, ionic strength, and reaction time of the assembling system of Arg and H2TPPS. More impressively, specific Au growth direction along the Pt-doped chiral NR (L-/D-Pt-NR) is observed (from tip to middle) during the preparation of Pt-Au-bimetal-doped chiral NR (L-/D-Pt-Au-NR) and their compositions can be finely controlled by simply adjusting the concentrations of HAuCl4. As expected, the chiral nanostructures exhibit superior enantioselective photocatalytic ability toward chiral organics under visible light: the oxidation rate of L-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by L-Pt-NR (or D-DOPA catalyzed by D-Pt-NR) is about 60% higher than that of L-DOPA catalyzed by D-Pt-NR (or L-DOPA catalyzed by D-Pt-NR). This study provides a facile strategy to construct chiral nanostructures for the photocatalytic conversion of chiral organics.

Abstract
Mesoporous microparticles have the potential to be used in various fields, such as energy generation, sensing, and the environmental field. Recently, the process of making homogeneous microparticles in an economical and environmentally friendly way has gained much attention. Herein, rectangular mesoporous microblocks of various designs are produced by manipulating the fragmentation of colloidal films consisting of micropyramids while controlling the notch angles of pyramidal edges. During calcination of the colloidal films, cracks are generated in the valleys of micropyramids acting as notches, and the angle of notches can be controlled by the prepattern underneath the micropyramids. By changing the location of notches with sharp angles, the shape of microblocks can be controlled with excellent uniformity. After detaching the microblocks from substrates, mesoporous microparticles of various sizes with multiple functions are easily produced. This study demonstrates anti-counterfeiting functions by encoding the rotation angles of rectangular microblocks of various sizes. In addition, the mesoporous microparticles can be utilized for separating desired chemicals mixed with chemicals of different charges. The method of fabricating size-tunable functionalized mesoporous microblocks can be a platform technology to prepare special films and catalysts and for environmental applications.

Abstract
A drying droplet containing colloidal particles can consolidate into a spherical assembly called a supraparticle. Such supraparticles are inherently porous due to the spaces between the constituent primary particles. Here, the emergent, hierarchical porosity in spray-dried supraparticles is tailored via three distinct strategies acting at different length scales. First, mesopores (<10 nm) are introduced via the primary particles. Second, the interstitial pores are tuned from the meso- (35 nm) to the macro scale (250 nm) by controlling the primary particle size. Third, defined macropores (>100 nm) are introduced via templating polymer particles, which can be selectively removed by calcination. Combining all three strategies creates hierarchical supraparticles with fully tailored pore size distributions. Moreover, another level of the hierarchy is added by fabricating supra-supraparticles, using the supraparticles themselves as building blocks, which provide additional pores with micrometer dimensions. The interconnectivity of the pore networks within all supraparticle types is investigated via detailed textural and tomographic analysis. This work provides a versatile toolbox for designing porous materials with precisely tunable, hierarchical porosity from the meso- (3 nm) to the macroscale (≈10 µm) that can be utilized for applications in catalysis, chromatography, or adsorption.

Abstract
Supraparticles (SPs) are of great importance in both fundamental and applied studies due to their emerging collective properties, synergistic effects, and various applications. Metal sulfide nanomaterials are of vital importance in biomedicine, catalysis, battery materials, and other fields. Herein, an in situ decomposition-assembly strategy for the versatile fabrication of metal sulfide SPs is developed. In the fabrication, cysteine molecules and metal cations first react and form coordination polymers, which are then decomposed by heating to produce small-sized metal sulfide nanocrystals. Driven by elimination of the high surface energy of NCs generated by thermal decomposition and the van der Waals attraction, the resulting nanocrystals in situ self-assemble each other and form SP products. In addition to homogeneous Cu2S, CdS, and ZnS products, the proposed system can even be extended to fabricate hybrid Cu2S/Fe2O3 SPs. Furthermore, the SP size can be easily tuned from 10 to 100 nm by adjusting the proportion of cysteine and metal ions. The SPs not only exhibit various properties including photothermal conversion, fluorescence, and magnetism, depending on their composition, but can also combine these properties by the formation of hybrid structures.

Abstract
Chiral nanomaterials in biology play indispensable roles in maintaining numerous physiological processes, such as signaling, site-specific catalysis, transport, protection, and synthesis. Like natural chiral nanomaterials, chiral inorganic nanomaterials can also be established with similar size, charge, surface properties, and morphology. However, chiral inorganic nanomaterials usually exhibit extraordinary properties that are different from those of organic materials, such as high g-factor values, broad distribution range, and symmetrical mirror configurations. Because of these unique characteristics, there is great potential for application in the fields of biosensing, drug delivery, early diagnosis, bio-imaging, and disease therapy. Related research is summarized and discussed in this review to showcase the bio-functions and bio-applications of chiral inorganic nanomaterials, including the construction methods, classification and properties, and biological applications of chiral inorganic nanomaterials. Moreover, the deficiencies in existing studies are noted, and future development is prospected. This review will provide helpful guidance for constructing chiral inorganic nanomaterials with specific bio-functions for problem solving in living systems.

Abstract
Chiral plasmonic nanostructures have promising applications in optoelectronics due to their chiroptical responses. However, achieving active tuning of optical chirality remains challenging. Here, we develop stretchable chiroptical films with mechanically tunable extrinsic chirality by assembling hexagonal magnetic/plasmonic hybrid nanodisks in magnetic fields. The nanodisks, synthesized using a space-confined growth method, display three distinct plasmonic resonance modes at the UV-vis-NIR region, which red shift with increasing size as demonstrated by simulation and experimental results. The coupled magnetic and plasmonic anisotropy allows convenient control over the plasmonic resonance modes by altering the strength or direction of external magnetic fields. Further, magnetically aligning the nanodisks in a stretchable polymer film produces superstructures with extrinsic chirality, displaying selective absorption of circularly polarized light and inverted circular dichroism due to the linear dichroism-linear birefringence effect. Reversible mechanical stretching allows for continuous switching of circular dichroism in a wide range (from -1° to +1°). The efficient magnetic alignment of hybrid nanodisks in the hydrogel provides a simple and effective strategy for designing stretchable optical devices with tunable extrinsic chirality.

Abstract
Artificial chiral nanostructures have been subjected to extensive research for their unique chiroptical activities. Planarized chiral films of ultrathin thicknesses are in particular demand for easy on-chip integration and improved energy efficiency as polarization-sensitive metadevices. Recently, controlled twisted stacking of two or more layers of nanomaterials, such as 2D van der Waals materials, ultrathin films, or traditional metasurfaces, at an angle has emerged as a general strategy to introduce optical chirality into achiral solid-state systems. This method endows new degrees of freedom, e.g., the interlayer twist angle, to flexibly engineer and tune the chiroptical responses without having to change the material or the design, thus greatly facilitating the development of multifunctional metamaterials. In this review, recent exciting progress in planar chiral metasurfaces are summarized and discussed from the viewpoints of building blocks, fabrication methods, as well as circular dichroism and modulation thereof in twisted stacked nanostructures. The review further highlights the ever-growing portfolio of applications of these chiral metasurfaces, including polarization conversion, information encryption, chiral sensing, and as an engineering platform for hybrid metadevices. Finally, forward-looking prospects are provided.

Abstract
The unique topology and physics of chiral superlattices make their self-assembly from nanoparticles highly sought after yet challenging in regard to (meta)materials1-3. Here we show that tetrahedral gold nanoparticles can transform from a perovskite-like, low-density phase with corner-to-corner connections into pinwheel assemblies with corner-to-edge connections and denser packing. Whereas corner-sharing assemblies are achiral, pinwheel superlattices become strongly mirror asymmetric on solid substrates as demonstrated by chirality measures. Liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy and computational models show that van der Waals and electrostatic interactions between nanoparticles control thermodynamic equilibrium. Variable corner-to-edge connections among tetrahedra enable fine-tuning of chirality. The domains of the bilayer superlattices show strong chiroptical activity as identified by photon-induced near-field electron microscopy and finite-difference time-domain simulations. The simplicity and versatility of substrate-supported chiral superlattices facilitate the manufacture of metastructured coatings with unusual optical, mechanical and electronic characteristics.

Abstract
The propagation of chirality across scales is a common but poorly understood phenomenon in soft matter. Here, using computer simulations, we study twisted monolayer assemblies formed by both chiral and achiral rod-like particles in the presence of non-adsorbing polymer and characterise the thermodynamic driving forces responsible for the twisting. We observe assemblies with both like and inverted chirality relative to the rods and show that the preferred twist is already determined during the initial stage of the self-assembly. Depending on the geometry of the constituent rods, the chiral twist is regulated by either the entropy gain of the polymer, or of the rods, or both. This can include important contributions from changes in both the surface area and volume of the monolayer and from rod fluctuations perpendicular to the monolayer. These findings can deepen our understanding of why chirality propagates and of how to control it.

Abstract
The rapid expansion of the study of chiral inorganic structures has led to the extension of the functional boundaries of inorganic materials. Nature-inspired self-assembled chiral inorganic structures exhibit diverse morphologies due to their high assembly efficiency and controlled assembly process, and they exhibit superior inherent properties such as mechanical properties, chiral optical activity, and chiral fluorescence. Although chiral self-assembled inorganic structures are becoming more mature in chiral catalysis and chiral optical regulation, biomedical research is still in its infancy. In this paper, various forms of chiral self-assembled inorganic structures are summarized, which provides a structural starting point for various applications of chiral self-assembly inorganic structures in biomedical fields. Based on the few existing research statuses and mechanism discussions on the chiral self-assembled materials-mediated regulation of cell behavior, molecular probes, and tumor therapy, this paper provides guidance for future chiral self-assembled structures to solve the same or similar medical problems. In the field of chiral photonics, chiral self-assembled structures exhibit a chirality-induced selection effect, while selectivity is exhibited by chiral isomers in the medical field. It is worth considering whether there is some correspondence or juxtaposition between these phenomena. Future chiral self-assembled structures in medicine will focus on the precise treatment of tumors, induction of soft and hard tissue regeneration, explanation of the biochemical mechanisms and processes of its medical effects, and improvement of related theories.

Abstract
Robust millimeter-sized spherical particles with controlled compositions and microstructures hold promises of important practical applications especially in relation to continuous flow cascade catalysis. However, the efficient fabrication methods for producing such particles remain scare. Here, we demonstrate a liquid marble approach to fabricate robust mm-sized porous supraparticles (SPs) through the bottom-up assembly of silica nanoparticles in the presence of strength additive or surface interactions, without the need for the specific liquid-repellent surfaces used by the existing methods. As the proof of the concept, our method was exemplified by fabricating biomimetic cascade catalysts through assembly of two types of well-defined catalytically active nanoparticles. The obtained SP-based cascade catalysts work well in industrially preferred fixed-bed reactors, exhibiting excellent catalysis efficiency, controlled reaction kinetics, high enantioselectivity (99% ee) and outstanding stability (200~500 h) in the cascades of ketone hydrogenation-kinetic resolution and amine racemization-kinetic resolution. The excellent catalytic performances are attributed to the structural features, reconciling close proximity of different catalytic sites and their sufficient spatial isolation. Robust millimeter-sized spherical particles with controlled compositions and microstructures hold promises of important practical applications. Here the authors develop a liquid marble method to facilely fabricate robust millimeter-sized supraparticles with controlled microstructures through the bottom-up assembly of silica nanoparticles.

Abstract
In this study, manganese-based multiply hierarchical chiral supraparticles (SPs), with an anisotropy factor (g-factor) of 0.102 and circular dichroism (CD) intensity of 260 mdeg at 530 nm, are successfully synthesized with polar-solvent-mediated strategies. Notably, the g-factor of the SPs is further enhanced to 0.121 by the addition of an external chiral solvent, generating a chiral biased environment, which increases their CD intensity to 320 mdeg at 500 nm. The mechanism underlying the different chirality is proposed to be a difference in the angle of tilt of ±33° between the two enantiomers of the chiral SPs, which involves a difference of ±7° between the orientation of individual nanoplatelets. Chiral solvents induce the angle between adjacent nanoplatelets to get smaller than the original structure that leads to their higher anisotropic value. These findings potentially provide a practical method for the construction of complex chiral superstructures and the regulation of chiroptical activity.

Abstract
Small-sized temperature indicator additives autonomously record temperature events via a gradual irreversible signal change. This permits, for instance, the indication of possible cold-chain breaches or failure of electronics but also curing of glues. Thus, information about the materials' thermal history can be obtained upon signal detection at every point of interest. In this work, maximum-temperature indicators with magnetic readout based on micrometer-sized supraparticles (SPs) are introduced. The magnetic signal transduction is, by nature, independent of the materials' optical properties. This facilitates the determination of valuable temperature information from the inside, that is, the bulk, even of dark and opaque macroscopic objects, which might differ from their surface. Compared to state-of-the-art optical temperature indicators, complementary magnetic readout characteristics ultimately expand their applicability. The conceptualized SPs are hierarchically structured assemblies of environmentally friendly, inexpensive iron oxide nanoparticles and thermoplastic polymer. Irreversible structural changes, induced by polymer softening, yield magnetic interaction changes within and between the hierarchic sub-structures, which are distinguishable and define the temperature indication mechanism. The fundamental understanding of the SPs' working principle enables customization of the particles' working range, response time, and sensitivity, using a toolbox-like manufacturing approach. The magnetic signal change is detected self-referenced, fast, and contactless.

Abstract
A significant challenge exists in obtaining chiral nanostructures that are amenable to both solution-phase self-assembly and solid-phase preservation, which enable the observation of unveiled optical responses impacted by the dynamic or static conformation and the incident excitations. Here, to meet this demand, we employed DNA origami technology to create quasi-planar chiral satellite-core nanoparticle superstructures with an intermediate geometry between the monolayer and the double layer. We disentangled the complex chiral mechanisms, which include planar chirality, 3D chirality, and induced chirality transfer, through combined theoretical studies and thorough experimental measurements of both solution- and solid-phase samples. Two distinct states of optical responses were demonstrated by the dynamic and static conformations, involving a split or nonsplit circular dichroism (CD) line shape. More importantly, our study on chiral nanoparticle superstructures on a substrate featuring both a dominant 2D geometry and a defined 3D represents a great leap toward the realization of colloidal chiral metasurfaces.

Abstract
ConspectusThe concept of colloids encompasses a wide range of isotropic and anisotropic particles with diverse sizes, shapes, and functions from synthetic nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanosheets to functional biological units. They are addressed in materials science for various functions, while they are ubiquitous in the biological world for multiple functions. A large variety of synthetic colloids have been researched due to their scientific and technological importance; still they characteristically suffer from finite size distributions, imperfect shapes and interactions, and not fully engineered functions. This contrasts with biological colloids that offer precision in their size, shape, and functionality. Materials science has searched for inspiration from the biological world to allow structural control by self-assembly and hierarchy and to identify novel routes for combinations of functions in bio-inspiration.Herein, we first discuss different approaches for highly defined structural control of technically relevant synthetic colloids based on guided assemblies of biological motifs. First, we describe how polydisperse nanoparticles can be assembled within hollow protein cages to allow well-defined assemblies and hierarchical packings. Another approach relies on DNA nanotechnology-based assemblies, where engineered DNA structures allow programmed assembly. Then we will discuss synthetic colloids that have either particularly narrow size dispersity or even atomically precise structures for new assemblies and potential functions. Such colloids can have well-defined packings for membranes allowing high modulus. They can be switchable using light-responsive moieties, and they can initiate packing of larger assemblies of different geometrical shapes. The emphasis is on atomically defined nanoclusters that allow well-defined assemblies by supramolecular interactions, such as directional hydrogen bonding. Finally, we will discuss stimulus-responsive colloids for new functions, even toward complex responsive functions inspired by life. Therein, stimulus-responsive materials inspired by biological learning could allow the next generation of such materials. Classical conditioning is among the simplest biological learning concepts, requiring two stimuli and triggerable memory. Therein we use thermoresponsive hydrogels with plasmonic gold nanoparticles and a spiropyran photoacid as a model. Heating is the unconditioned stimulus leading to melting of the thermoresponsive gel, whereas light (at a specified wavelength) originally leads to reduced pH without plasmonic or structural changes because of steric gel stabilization. Under heat-induced gel melting, light results in pH-decrease and chain-like aggregation of the gold nanoparticles, allowing a new plasmonic response. Thus, simultaneous heating and light irradiation allow conditioning for a newly derived stimulus, where the logic diagram is analogous to Pavlovian conditioning. The shown assemblies demonstrate the different functionalities achievable using colloids when the sizes and the dispersity are controlled.

Abstract
Metallic chiral nanoparticles (CNPs) promisingly function as asymmetric catalysts but lack an important study in thermal stability of optical activity that stems from metastable chiral lattices. In this work, annealing is applied to silver (Ag) CNPs, fabricated by glancing angle deposition (GLAD), and causes elimination of optical activity at 200 °C, mainly ascribed to chiral-to-achiral lattice transformation. The Ag CNPs are remarkedly enhanced in thermal stability through an alloying with aluminum (Al) via layer-by-layer GLAD to generate binary Ag0.5 Al0.5 CNPs composed of solid-state liquids, whose optical activity vanishes at 700 °C. Ease in the diffusion of Al atoms in the host Ag CNPs and thermal insulation from the Al2 O3 layers partially covering the binary CNPs effectively prohibit structural relaxation of the metastable chiral lattices, accounting for the significant enhancement in thermal stability of chiral lattices. This is a pioneering work to investigate the fundamental principles determining the thermal stability of metallic CNPs in terms of chiral structures and optical activity. It paves the way toward applying metallic CNPs to asymmetric catalysis at high temperature to accelerate an asymmetric synthesis of enantiomers with designable chirality, which is one of the most important topics in modern chemistry.

Abstract
Chiral metallic nanoparticles can exhibit novel plasmonic circular dichroism (PCD) in the ultraviolet and visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, we investigate how thermoresponsive dielectric nanoenvironments will influence such PCD responses through poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) modified chiral gold nanorods (AuNRs). We observed the temperature-dependent chiral plasmonic responses distinctly from unmodified counterparts. As for the modified systems, the PCD peaks for both L-AuNRs and D-AuNRs at 50 °C red shifted simultaneously with enhanced intensities compared to the results at 20 °C. In contrast, the unmodified L-AuNRs and D-AuNRs exhibited no peak shift with reduced intensities. Subsequent simulation and experimental studies demonstrated that the enhanced PCD was attributed to PNIPAM chain collapse causing the increase of the refractive index by expelling minute water out of the corona surrounding chiral plasmonic AuNRs. Notably, such thermoresponsive chiral plasmonic responses are reversible, general, and extendable to other types of chiral plasmonic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Chiral nanomaterials have drawn extensive attention on account of numerous application prospects in optoelectronics, asymmetric catalysis, chiral recognition, and three-dimensional (3D) display. Thereinto, chiral perovskite has been a hotspot due to brilliant optoelectronic properties, but some problems limit the development, including low quantum yield, low chiral intensity, and the lack of facile regulation. To overcome these issues, an effective ligand exchange strategy, i.e. the interface modification has been proposed for chiral perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). With the surface modification of CsPbBr3 PNCs with chiral organic ammonium in methyl acetate in the typical purification process, excellent circular dichroism (CD) signals were obtained and defects were eliminated, leading to an increase in the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) from 50% to nearly 100%. The CD signal can be regulated through a ligand exchange strategy in the longitudinal dimension, the chiral intensity, and the transverse dimension, the wavelength range. Here, the proper addition of R-α-PEAI into the R-α-PEABr-capped CsPbBr3 PNCs can produce a superstrong CD signal with the highest anisotropy factor (g-factor) of 0.0026 in the visible region among reported chiral colloidal PNCs. Simultaneously, the luminescence emission can be tuned from the green to red region with boosted PLQY through the approach. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation result supports that chirality comes from the hybridization between the energy level of a perovskite structure and that of chiral organic molecules. These properties can be used in the structural engineering of high-performance chiral optical materials, spin-polarized light-emitting devices, and polarized optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles offer a multifunctional platform for biomedical applications in drug delivery, biosensing, bioimaging, disease diagnosis, screening, and therapies. Homochirality prevalently exists in biological systems composed of asymmetric biochemical activities and processes, so biomedical applications essentially favor the usage of inorganic chiral nanomaterials, which have been widely studied in the past two decades. Here, the latest investigations are summarized including the characterization of 3D stereochirality, the bionic fabrication of hierarchical chirality, extension of the compositional space to poly-elements, studying optical activities with the (sub-)single-particle resolution, and the experimental demonstration in biomedical applications. These advanced studies pave the way toward fully understanding the two important chiral effects (i.e., the chiroptical and enantioselective effects), and prospectively promote the flexible design and fabrication of inorganic chiral nanoparticles with engineerable functionalities to solve diverse practical problems closely associated with environment and public health.

Abstract
Chirality involved reactions enable to probe features in the fields of asymmetric synthesis and catalysis, which allow to gain insight into the fundamental mechanisms of topochemically controlled reactions. However, in situ observation of the chirality-associated reaction dynamics with simultaneous structural determination of microscopic features has been lacking. Here, we report the direct visualization of the electron-beam-stimulated reaction dynamics of HgS nanostructures with chiral and achiral morphologies simultaneously in both real and reciprocal space. Under the electron-beam excitation of HgS nanostructures, the formation and evaporation dynamics of Hg nanodroplets were vividly pictured, while the reciprocal space imaging revealed the structural transformation from monocrystalline to polycrystalline. Interestingly, such induced changes were size dependent, which were slowed when involving the chirality in the nanostructures. The finding offers a fundamental understanding of topochemically controlled reaction mechanisms and holds promise of tuning asymmetric synthesis for catalysis-related applications.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Assembly of colloids in drying colloidal suspensions on superhydrophobic surface is influenced by the colloidal interactions, which determine the shape and interior structure of the assembled supraparticle. The introduction of salt (electrolyte) into the assembly system is expected to influence the colloid interactions and packing during the evaporation process. Hence, both the outer shape and internal structure of supraparticles should be controlled by varying salt concentrations. EXPERIMENTS Suspensions of electrostatically stabilized polystyrene particles with specified salt concentrations were chosen as model systems to conduct the evaporation on a superhydrophobic surface. A systematic study was performed by regulating the concentration and valency of salt. The morphology and interior of supraparticles were carefully characterized with electron scanning microscopy, while the colloidal interaction was established using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy. FINDINGS Supraparticles displayed a spherical-to-nonspherical shape change due to the addition of salts. The extent of crystallization depended on salt concentration. These changes in shape and structure were correlated with salt-dependent single colloid interaction forces, which were not previously investigated in detail in radially symmetric evaporation geometry. Our findings are crucial for understanding assembly behavior during the drying process and offer guidance for preparing complex supraparticles to meet specific applications requirement.
