confirmed the single handedness of the thermodynamic nanotubes
because they were unwounded into only one-handed nanocoils.
Notably, these one-handed nanotubes are highly emissive, with a
fluorescence quantum yield greater than 46%., thereby offering
promising applications in optoelectronics, fluorescent sensors, and
biological imaging.
