Helical polymers constitute a class of macromolecules that adopt a spiral conformation, a feature that endows them with unique optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties. These materials have ...

The resulting nanotubes exhibit intrinsic chirality, hydrophilicity, aqueous stability, and strong photoluminescence properties. This work establishes a scalable, modular platform for synthesizing ...

We report the synthesis of a novel family of one-handed helical ladder polymers incorporating enantiopure 9,9′-spirobifluorene frameworks by an acid-promoted alkyne benzannulation reaction. By varying ...

A recently discovered Weyl semimetal delivers the largest intrinsic conversion of light to electricity of any material, an international team led by a group of Boston College researchers reported in ...

Helical piles are steel elements consisting of one or more helices placed along a central shaft and installed in the ground through rotation. This study describes a field investigation of the behavior ...
