Time-Evolving Helicity in Chlorophyll-Based Polymers

Caption

The figure shows how the material evolves from nonhelical fibers into progressively tighter helices over several days. This stepwise transformation demonstrates dynamic helicity in synthetic systems, where structure develops gradually rather than forming instantly.
