Curvature instability of chiral colloidal membranes on crystallization

Buckling and wrinkling are instabilities which involve thin elastic sheets and are well-investigated phenomena at the macroscale. Here Saikia et al. investigate curvature instabilities at the colloidal lengthscale in quasi-2D monolayers of rod-like viruses across the fluid-crystal phase transition.
