"combined achiral conjugated polymers with solvent... added solution to microscope slide. As solvent molecules evaporated, leaving polymers, solution became more concentrated... compressed achiral polymers self-assembling to form structures... solution’s concentration increased... achiral polymers were not assembling into achiral structures... Instead forming helixes... polymers’ twisted shape and helical structure... Molecular dynamics simulation was instrumental to this research"
