I thought this was a remarkably bizarre sentence: > "Unlike the wires we know from everyday life, where electric current runs directly through the wire, the current runs in a circular fashion as it proceeds through these molecules. This behaviour is due to a quantum mechanical effect known as electrohelicity, which in this case causes electrons in molecules to move in a helical fashion, spiralling around the molecule." It's a circular definition. They basically said "the current runs in a circular fashion due to a quantum mechanical effect known as current-runs-in-circular-fashionicity, which in this case causes current to run in a circular fashion"
