Two objects of opposite chirality appear the same as each other in a mirror, but no amount of geometrical manipulation will cause them to occupy the identical space and shape. Achiral crystals should not exhibit behavior that arises from chiral symmetry. Recent work by a team of international collaborators investigated 150-year-old scientific assumptions about symmetry and demonstrated how a particular material produces a chiral charge density wave despite its apparently achiral lattice.
