In a striking demonstration of molecular control, a team of scientists has harnessed light to reverse the twist in self-assembling molecules. The study identifies how trace residual aggregates in ...
The propeller-shaped perylene diimide (PDI) hexamers invert their helical twist (propeller chirality) depending on the solvent, leading to changes in both the sign and intensity of circularly ...

Nature inspires self-assembling helical polymer
Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers from Hiroshima ...
