We present spectroscopic studies of nanoscale polymorphic transition of silk proteins under electrons using infrared scattering near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), which paves the way for unlocking essential nanoscopic hierarchical molecular structures in protein-based biomaterials.
We present a thermal nanolithography technique by using silk proteins as resist with scanning near-field optical microscopy, which is capable of capable of selective curing and in-situ characterization of natural silk proteins at nanoscale resolution.
