Molecular “Handwriting” with Prototissues

Caption

Vesicle-based prototissue fibers can be shaped into specific patterns through controlled assembly. Researchers demonstrated this by creating letter-shaped patterns at the microscale, showcasing the ability to "write" with molecular assemblies. This highlights the programmable nature of supramolecular materials and their potential for constructing complex, adaptive structures. Scale bar: 1 cm.
