Spatiotemporal pattern formation is dynamic self-organization widely observed in nature and drives various functions. Among these functions, chirality plays a central role. The relationship between dynamic self-organization and chirality has been an open question; therefore, the production of chiral nanomaterials by dynamic self-organization has not been achieved.

A combination of a CRIGF with a high-reflection substrate can provide a new type of a band-stop reflector with a small aperture for a vertically incident wave from air. A narrow stopband was theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated.
