A moleculary woven fabric (IMAGE)
Caption
This molecular fabric is made of four molecular networks (shown in green, orange, purple and blue) that weave above and below each other to create a layer with an interlocking pattern. A single layer of the material can come in two forms: one in which the various molecular networks cross each other in a clockwise spiral (left) and a mirror-like version (right) in which the networks cross in a counterclockwise spiral.
