Inspired by the double-stranded helix of DNA, researchers have developed an artificial polymer that organizes itself into a controlled helix.

The polymer that the Hiroshima University team developed is known as a pseudo-polycatenane, which contains mechanical bonds in addition to the non-covalent bonds.

Polymers are a broad class of materials characterized by the large molecules that comprise them. Polymers can be found in nature as proteins and more, including DNA.
