Abstract

Presents research which described a system in which chirality can be varied continuously and controllably in micrometer-scale structures. Chirality in biological structures; Problem of quantitative prediction of large-scale chirality; Formation of twisted ribbons; Tuning the degree of twist and the pitch of the ribbons; Practical value of research.
