@BeckmanInst @TheDiaoLab @DiaoGroup @ChemistryUIUC @ChBEIllinois @IllinoisMatSE @uofigrainger @NatureComms Congratulations to @TheDiaoLab and Chen lab on this beautiful work. Happy to play a small role in this study to explain molecular mechanism of chiral emergence.

[Beckman Institute at Illinois @BeckmanIllinois]

#ILLINOIS researchers observed chirality, a property important to photosynthesis, in a type of polymer used in organic solar cell design.☀️

Their work could help enhance the cells' design and increase access to renewable energy▶️https://t.co/iiNAIClvB7
