Nanoactuators and nanomachines have long been sought after, but key bottlenecks remain.
Forces at submicrometer scales are weak and slow, control is hard to achieve, and power …

Melanin is a ubiquitous natural pigment found in a diverse array of organisms. Allomelanin
is a class of nitrogen-free melanin often found in fungi. Herein, we find artificial allomelanin …

Fibrillar collagens have mechanical and biological roles, providing tissues with both tensile
strength and cell binding sites which allow molecular interactions with cell-surface receptors …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed from Zr 6 nodes and tetratopic carboxylate
linkers display high structural diversity and complexity in which various crystal topologies can …

Melanosomes in nature have diverse morphologies, including spheres, rods, and platelets.
By contrast, shapes of synthetic melanins have been almost entirely limited to spherical …

Collagens, the most abundant proteins in mammals, are defined by their triple-helical structures
and distinctive Gly-Xaa-Yaa repeating sequence, where Xaa is often proline and Yaa, …

Recent reports suggest that next-generation hair dyes might take inspiration from the natural
pigment melanin. In humans, melanin imparts color to hair and skin and acts as a natural …

The ability to reliably and precisely deliver picolitre volumes is an important component of
biological research. Here we describe a high-performance, low-cost, open hardware pressure …
