Abstract: Abstract Attempts to generate films, wires, helices, rings and regular patterns out of inorganic materials1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 have been going on for the past 100 years. We show here that stable helices of porous manganese oxide materials can be formed spontaneously from uniform sols and that they are excellent semiconductors. These inorganic helices contain micropores, can be converted into other structures, and their composition can be varied.
