论文摘要
我们证明了大自然在软体动物的生物矿化中产生了近距离包装的螺旋扭曲的丝状材料。在液晶中，已经预测并观察到了扭曲弯曲的夜生物。我们提供并分析证据表明，软体动物壳的螺旋生物矿物微结构可能是由这种液晶前体形成的。
We demonstrate that nature has produced a close-packed helical twisted filamentous material in the biomineralization of the mollusc. In liquid crystals, twist-bend nematics have been predicted and observed. We present and analyse evidence that the helical biomineral microstructure of mollusc shells may be formed from such a liquid-crystal precursor.
