A way to link benzene rings together in a highly ordered three-dimensional helical structure using a straightforward polymerization procedure has been discovered by researchers from RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science and the University of Tokyo. "We expect our achievement to open up new areas of nanocarbon and materials science," says Koichiro Mikami from the research team.
