Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Superconductivity in a chiral nanotube.
http://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/02...-nanotube.html
"Scientists have found that a superconducting current flows in only one direction through a chiral nanotube, marking the first observation of the effects of chirality on superconductivity. Until now, superconductivity has only been demonstrated in achiral materials, in which the current flows in both directions equally."
I'm not sure what the applications might be, but it certainly seems to have considerable potential.
