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.
