Silicon is the second largest element on Earth. 28% of the earth's crust is silicon. It is found in sand, silicates, and many minerals like quartz. Silicon and oxygen atoms are connected to form long chains of polymers. The long chains that form these polymers look like coils and have similar functions at the same time1. Unlike other molecules, this coil can be coiled in series or unwound smoothly under ambient conditions2.
This coil structure exists in the form of matter ranging from gaseous to brittle solids, and can also be manufactured with many different viscosities, densities, structures and functions. The unique combination of characteristics of this coil has stimulated industrial production, resulting in many previously unimaginable products.
