Why Disordered Light-Harvesting Systems Produce Ordered Outcomes

Scientists at the University of Groningen created a light-harvesting system that is made from double-walled nanotubes that self-assemble from molecular building blocks. One light-harvesting nanotube contains thousands of molecules. And while the tubes look alike and have very similar optical properties, there are big differences at the level of the molecules. So, how can they still behave in...
