  • Secondly, the current paper builds upon previous work by Lieber's group to introduce triangular "stereocenters" - essentially, fixed 120-degree joints-into nanowires, structures that had previously been rigidly linear.

  • Synthetic chemists have long been challenged by stereocenters because only one configuration may yield an active drug, while molecules containing the mirror-image version can be inactive, and perhaps even harmful, contaminants.
