Science has long taken inspiration from the natural world, and few natural designs are as iconic as the helical shape that makes life possible. The best-known example of such a molecule is DNA, a ...

Synthetic materials rarely mimic the dynamic helicity observed in biological systems like DNA and proteins, often forming ...

Researchers from Chiba University synthesized two chlorophyll derivatives (ChG2 and ChG3) that self-assemble into rosette patterns, columnar stacks, and disc-shaped aggregates depending on the solvent ...

A structural analysis reveals how energy harvested from sunlight is moved to where it can power photosynthesis.
