Often used in engineering and physics to describe objects like springs and gears.

Technical Usage

Imagine a spiral staircase to understand 'helical' in practical objects.

Visual Imagery

'Helical' items are three-dimensional, not just circles or curvy lines.

Not Flat

In biology, 'helical' often describes the structure of molecules like DNA.

Biological Structures

Describing DNA as 'helical' emphasizes its precise, intricate shape.

Molecular Precision

Helical refers to structures that are not usually visible to the naked eye in a biological context.

 become family now we're talking about all the coolest things like oceans and they were like oceans are the best they're like but helical blooms they suck and I was like I know what causes algal blooms it's agriculture and they're like habitat destruction is the worst we're losing all these animals we're doing all these projects and I was

 Just as a cork screw on a wine bottle converts winding motion into forward motion, these tiny creatures spin their helical tails to push themselves forward in a world where water feels as thick as cork. Other strategies are even stranger. Some bacteria take Batman's approach. They use grappling hooks to pull themselves along.

 It had the central fluid, it had the surrounding wall, and the reinforcing fibers in the wall were arranged in crossed helices around the long axis of the skeleton. So the image behind me shows a piece of tissue in one of these cross helical skeletons

 binary computer code but an ancient messy spaghetti code helical II wound into every one of our diverse habitats many that we've barely even begun to explore but all that are essential to our survival it's the realization that
