摘要

The hierarchical chiral self-assembly of peptides in evaporating liquid film is reported by Wei Qi and co-workers in article number 1700514. By changing the fluid mechanical effects under two distinct regimes: the “coffee ring” effect caused by outward capillary flow and the Rayleigh convection by buoyancy force, the peptides could self-assemble into well-aligned nanohelixes with their axis parallel or perpendicular to the substrate.
