Not only aesthetically appealing: The motif of the double‐stranded helix (see picture) is found in DNA, which is able to store and process “information”. It inspires scientists to search for ways to mimic not only its fascinating structure but also to develop helical systems with different functionalities and properties, with which one day, likewise, information storage and processing could be achieved.
