Biomaterials have played an increasingly prominent role in the success of biomedical
devices and in the development of tissue engineering, which seeks to unlock the …

Through the use of the limited materials palette, optimally designed micro-and
nanostructures, and tightly regulated processes, nature demonstrates exquisite control of …

Dynamic patterning of soft materials in a fully reversible and programmable manner with
light enables applications in anti-counterfeiting, displays and labelling technology. However …

Natural structural materials (such as tendons and ligaments) are comprised of multiscale
hierarchical architectures, with dimensions ranging from nano‐to macroscale, which are …

Histidine, a versatile proteinogenic amino acid, plays a broad range of roles in all living
organisms and behaves as a key mediator of the interactions of biomolecules with inorganic …

Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be
classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such …

The apparent piezoelectricity of biological materials is not yet fully understood at the
molecular level. In particular, dynamic noncovalent interactions, such as host–guest binding …

This review provides an overview of recent developments in “chemical virology.” Viruses, as
materials, provide unique nanoscale scaffolds that have relevance in chemical biology and …

Self‐assembly is a ubiquitous process in biology where it plays numerous important roles
and underlies the formation of a wide variety of complex biological structures. Over the past …

Chirality is one of the most important structural features in biological systems. Peptides, as a
class of small biomolecules, can self-assemble into various chiral supramolecular polymers …
