A new form of micelle, which is composed of detergents with bent aromatic panels, has been created by Michito Yoshizawa and his colleagues at Tokyo Institute of Technology. Unlike traditional micelles, the new "aromatic micelles" are photoactive, and capable of encapsulating dye molecules and showing unusual fluorescence in aqueous solutions.
