Reorientation behavior in the helical motility of light-responsive spiral droplets
Converting chemical energy into movement is essential to all forms of life, but the molecular processes are yet to be uncovered. Here the authors show a light-responsive reorientation behavior in liquid crystal droplets which stems from dynamic inversion of chirality from molecules to liquid crystal...
