Colloidal patchy spheres to yield enantiomorphic single-gyroid crystals via self-assembly. Colloidal patchy spheres, with either two staggered rectangular patches at opposite poles (top) or four narrower circular patches arranged in a well-defined geometry (bottom) limit such rotations. The patch arrangements make the colloidal spheres chiral, opening up bottom-up routes to one or the other enantiomorph via the selection of dihedral angles.
