title: Luminescence-driven reversible handedness inversion of self-organized helical superstructures enabled by a novel near-infrared light nanotransducer.
abstract: Nanotransducer-impregnated self-organized helical superstructures are found to exhibit unprecedented reversible handedness inversion upon irradiation by the dual-wavelength near-infrared light. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation at 808 nm, the helical twist sense changes from right-handed to left-handed through an achiral liquid-crystal phase, whereas its reverse process occurs upon the near-infrared laser irradiation at 980 nm.
