To say that I reached here all by myself would underscore the contribution of my mentors, letter writers (Andre Mkhoyan, Michael Tsapatsis, Nicholas Kotov, Sharon Glotzer, Rohit Bhargava),friends (you know who you are)and most importantly my parents (3/n).

I have lived this dream of becoming a Professor for last 14 years, when I was an undergrad and got excited with an electron microscopy course at IIT Madras and followed my passion of imaging atoms @MkhoyanL . (2/n).

This work originated in the summer of 2020 during the height of the pandemic, when we were forced to stick to computer screens. Alex now a graduate student in Notestein lab @nu_chbe took on this beautiful journey with me of creating and simulating gold tetrahelices.

Even I couldn't have explained it as simply as @kmca43 did .

Being able to decide not only whether a micron-scale particle twists but also how much could open new avenues for machine vision and more.

Happy and relieved to see that my work on fabricating 3D chiral structures with a 'twist', as a post-doc with @kotov_group @UMichChE is finally out for everyone to enjoy. Lucky that the paper made it to the cover. Article is at .

Imagine when this door was made, a person had a vision, their vision was crafted by several artists working locally on each section of the door. Like a crystal nucleating locally, and growing to merge into a beautiful morphology. Agra, India (n/n). @incredibleindia @susancain

Walking on this patterned floor in Taj Mahal is a weird experience. You feel a little dizzy, almost as if floating in Infinity. (4/n)
