Major insight into the homochirality of narwhal tusks: doi.org/10.1038/s414...
The narwhal tusk assembles its macroscopic helix from building blocks with opposing twists - Nature Communications
Narwhal tusks are macroscopically helical and chiral. This structure originates from left- and right-handed helices of tusk nanostructural components. The double helix creates a straight, mechanically...
