Mesoscale structure development reveals when a silkworm silk is spun

Studying the development of silk structure is important for understanding material properties and biomimetics. Here, the authors use ex vivo processing to characterise the stages of silk spinning and identify a consolidation phase where transient water pockets emerge due to multiple factors leading...
