Abstract

Many systems, including peptide systems, have been identified that self-assemble into nanometer sized structures. However, continued self-assembly to the macroscopic scale has remained elusive even though nature routinely does it. Here, a unique hierarchical peptide self-assembly process is described from the nanometer to the micrometer scale.
