Get your daily (nano)fiber : Assemblies of DNA and polymeric core–shell micelles evolve from longer beads‐on‐a‐string structures to shorter monodisperse solenoidal core–shell nanofibers (see picture). This self‐assembly method allows for synthesis of one‐dimensional nanomaterials with controlled dimensions and compositions, overcoming a limitation of existing nanomaterial synthesis.
