The increasing demand for the multidimensional and dynamic control of light has spurred
the development of stimuli‐responsive, reconfigurable, and programmable optical systems …

Protein self‐assembly is a fundamental biological process where proteins spontaneously
organize into complex and functional structures without external direction. This process is …

The phenomenon of protein phase separation (PPS) underlies a wide range of cellular
functions. Correspondingly, the dysregulation of the PPS process has been associated with …

Nanomaterials must be systematically designed to be technologically viable,,,–. Driven by
optimizing intermolecular interactions, current designs are too rigid to plug in new chemical …

Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) adhesive has the advantages of being non-
formaldehyde and flame retardant and having low energy consumption; however, its poor …

Silk fibers' unique mechanical properties have made them desirable materials, yet their
formation mechanism remains poorly understood. While ions are known to support silk fiber …

Sensors have emerged as indispensable analytical tools across a wide range of important
fields, encompassing environmental monitoring, food safety, and public health. They …

Despite the promise of silk-based devices, the inherent disorder of native silk limits
performance. Here, we report highly ordered two-dimensional silk fibroin (SF) films grown …

The rheological characteristics of pre-spun native silk protein, which is stored as a viscous
pulp inside the silk gland, are the key factors that determine the mechanical performance of …

The toughness of silk naturally obtained from spiders and silkworms exceeds that of all other
natural and man-made fibers. These insects transform aqueous protein feedstocks into …
