ABSTRACT
Nature builds biological materials and develops their functional pathways on nano (biomacromolecular) or micro (cellular) levels with super—ne spatial (structural) and temporal (process) controls, securing their roles in a living system. Humans often —nd it hard to duplicate the structures and functions of such biomaterials even after the underlying chemical, physical, and biological “languages” that govern the formation of these materials have been gradually “cracked.” On the other hand, though lithography-based top-down techniques have laid a solid foundation for microelectronics, they
