Molecules have an orientation, and scientists have a new way to measure it

Polymer chains twist and turn in complex and unexpected ways, now visible with a new measurement technique. The new technique, which shows 3D molecular orientation at a 400 nm resolution, will help researchers understand the structure/function relationship in polymer-based materials and design new advanced materials for the medical, aerospace, semiconductor and other industries.
