Chiral control without chirality : The adsorption of achiral liquid‐crystal molecules to graphite substrates can generate surfaces with controlled enantiomeric excess and absolute chirality in the presence of a magnetic field, which assists in orienting the molecules. Unlike conventional approaches for chiral control, no chiral inputs are needed.
