Researchers Develop Chiral Graphene Stacks to Produce Atomic-Scale Large Area Films

Non-superimposable mirror images of each other, such as hands and feet, are referred to as chiral objects. One image is clearly right-handed, and the other is left-handed. A ball and a basic drinking glass are some examples of achiral objects, which means the object and its mirror image look the same.
