A sword of fire is generated when a bolt of lightning strikes a primordial plane covered by flowing molecules. The distortion upon impact causes the molecules to separate and leave for a new three‐dimensional world. This artwork (“Flammenschwert”, Susy Piovesana, 2010) illustrates the concept behind the Minireview by M. Bella et al. on page 6216 ff. in which they describe the development of distinct chiral catalysts for asymmetric synthesis.
