Oriented peptide amphiphile-based nanoribbons with a crystal-like molecular order are prepared by application of a strong magnetic field. The (supra)molecular order is transferred on a polymer backbone formed within the assemblies, which is reflected in the highly anisotropic optical properties of the material, as shown in the figure.
