Optical characterizations of the stepwise rotation process. a Circular dichroism (CD) spectra measured at various rotation angles θ. b CD intensities at 732 nm extracted from the spectra in Fig. 2a as a function of θ during a full-turn clockwise rotation process. c Stepwise rotations along clockwise (black) and counterclockwise (red) directions, demonstrating good reversibility. The experiments were carried out on 2 samples, source data are provided with the paper.
