There is an urgent need to improve the sustainability of the materials we produce and use.
Here, we explore what humans can learn from nature about how to sustainably fabricate …

Artificial spider silk is an attractive material for many technical applications since it is a
biobased fiber that can be produced under ambient conditions but still outcompetes …

The hierarchical hollow architectured NiO/Co 3 O 4/C is developed using the sacrificial
template of Ni-Co MOF and the proximity of Ni (II)/Co (II) ions with organic ligand in Ni-Co …

The ability of amyloid proteins to form stable β-sheet nanofibrils has made them potential
candidates for material innovation in nanotechnology. However, such a nanoscale feature …

Silkworm silk has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its excellent
mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and promising applications in biomedical sector …

Silks are protein-based biopolymers with unique combinations of different physical
properties. Silkworm silk is the most well studied due to its abundance and good mechanical …

Silkworm silk is mainly known as a luxurious textile. Spider silk is an alternative to silkworm
silk fibers and has much more outstanding properties. Silk diversity ensures variation in its …

Regenerated silk fibroin (RSF)/graphene oxide (GO) hybrid silk fibers were dry-spun from a
mixed dope of GO suspension and RSF aqueous solution. It was observed that the presence …

Biological tissues in animals generally consist an extracellular matrix often with cells
embedded in it. These materials are primarily comprised of different protein building blocks …

A central concept in molecular bioscience is how structure formation at different length
scales is achieved. Here we use spider silk protein as a model to design new recombinant …
