Three-dimensional helical chiral metamaterials are required for nanophotonics but lack of full rotational symmetry has limited their use. Here, Esposito et al. combine chirality and isotropy, fabricating intertwined helical nanowires with 37% broadband circular dichroism with a high signal to noise ratio.
