Abstract
Natural systems display sophisticated control of light-matter interactions at multiple length scales for light harvesting, manipulation, and management, through elaborate photonic architectures and responsive material formats. Here, we combine programmable photonic function with elastomeric material composites to generate optomechanical actuators that display controllable and tunable actuation as well as complex deformation in response to simple light illumination. The ability to topographically control photonic bandgaps allows programmable actuation of the elastomeric substrate in response to illumination. Complex three-dimensional configurations, programmable motion patterns, and phototropic movement where the material moves in response to the motion of a light source are presented. A “photonic sunflower” demonstrator device consisting of a light-tracking solar cell is also illustrated to demonstrate the utility of the material composite. The strategy presented here provides new opportunities for the future development of intelligent optomechanical systems that move with light on demand. Programmable optical actuation in a material provides special possibilities for applications. Here, the authors combine photonic crystals with elastomers to provide material composites with tunable deformation and actuation as a function of moving light.

Abstract
This contribution describes the synthesis of colloidal di-patch particles functionalized with DNA on the patches and their assembly into colloidal superstructures via cooperative depletion and DNA-mediated interactions. The assembly into flower-like Kagome, brick-wall like monolayer, orthogonal packed single or double layers, wrinkled monolayer, and colloidal honeycomb superstructures can be controlled by tuning the particles' patch sizes and assembly conditions. Based on these experimental results, we generate an empirical phase diagram. The principles revealed by the phase diagram provide guidance in the design of two-dimensional (2D) materials with desired superstructures. Our strategy might be translatable to the assembly of three-dimensional (3D) colloidal structures.

Abstract
Color is an important communication channel for day-flying butterflies. Chemical (pigmentary) coloration is often supplemented by physical color generated by photonic nanostructures. These nanoarchitectures - which are characteristic for a given species - exhibit wavelength ranges in which light propagation is forbidden. The photonic nanoarchitectures are located in the lumen of the wing scales and are developed individually by each scale during metamorphosis. This self-assembly process is governed by the genes in the nucleus of the scale producing cell. It is crucial to establish well-defined measurement methods for the unambiguous characterization and comparison of colors generated in such a complex manner. Owing to the intricate architecture ordered at multiple levels (from centimeters to tens of nanometers), the precise quantitative determination of butterfly wing coloration is not trivial. In this paper, we present an overview of several optical spectroscopy measurement methods and illustrate techniques for processing the obtained data, using the species Polyommatus bellargus as a test case, the males of which exhibit a variation in their blue structural color that is easily recognizable to the naked eye. The benefits and drawbacks of these optical methods are discussed and compared. Furthermore, the origin of the color differences is explained in relation to differences in the wing scale nanomorphology revealed by electron microscopy. This in turn is tentatively associated with the unusually large genetic drift reported for this species in the literature.

Abstract
Natural biological systems are constantly developing efficient mechanisms to counter adverse effects of increasing human population and depleting energy resources. Their intelligent mechanisms are characterized by the ability to detect changes in the environment, store and evaluate information, and respond to external stimuli. Bio-inspired replication into man-made functional materials guarantees enhancement of characteristics and performance. Specifically, butterfly architectures have inspired the fabrication of sensor and energy materials by replicating their unique micro/nanostructures, light-trapping mechanisms and selective responses to external stimuli. These bio-inspired sensor and energy materials have shown improved performance in harnessing renewable energy, environmental remediation and health monitoring. Therefore, this review highlights recent progress reported on the classification of butterfly wing scale architectures and explores several bio-inspired sensor and energy applications.

Abstract
Photonic crystal (PC) materials with bio-inspired structure colors have drawn increasing attention as their potentials have been rapidly progressed in the field of biomedicine. After elaborate integration with smart materials or preparations through advanced techniques, PC materials have shown significant advantages in biosensing, bio-probing, bio-screening, tissue engineering, and so forth. In this review, we first introduced the fundamentals of PC materials as well as their fabrication strategies with different dimensional outputs. Based on these diversified PC materials, their biomedical potentials as biosensing elements, cell carriers, drug delivery systems, screening methods, cell scaffolds for tissue engineering, cell imaging probes, as well as the monitoring means for biological processes were then highlighted. In addition to these, we finally listed and discussed some emerging applications of PCs integrated with functional materials and newly developed material engineering technologies. In short, this review will provide a panoramic view of PCs-based biomedicines, and moreover, the progressive discussions from fundamentals to advanced applications in this review may also encourage researchers to innovate PC materials or devices for broader biomedical applications.

Abstract
Precise optical and thermal regulatory systems are found in nature, specifically in the microstructures on organisms' surfaces. In fact, the interaction between light and matter through these microstructures is of great significance to the evolution and survival of organisms. Furthermore, the optical regulation by these biological microstructures is engineered owing to natural selection. Herein, the role that microstructures play in enhancing optical performance or creating new optical properties in nature is summarized, with a focus on the regulation mechanisms of the solar and infrared spectra emanating from the microstructures and their role in the field of thermal radiation. The causes of the unique optical phenomena are discussed, focusing on prevailing characteristics such as high absorption, high transmission, adjustable reflection, adjustable absorption, and dynamic infrared radiative design. On this basis, the comprehensive control performance of light and heat integrated by this bioinspired microstructure is introduced in detail and a solution strategy for the development of low-energy, environmentally friendly, intelligent thermal control instruments is discussed. In order to develop such an instrument, a microstructural design foundation is provided.

Abstract
Achieving excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding combined with mechanical flexibility, optical transparency, and environmental stability is vital for the future of coatings, electrostatic discharge, electronic displays, and wearable and portable electronic devices. Unfortunately, it is challenging to engineer materials with all of these desired properties due to a lack of understanding of the underlying materials physics and structure-property relationships. Nature has provided numerous examples of a combination of properties through precision engineering of hierarchical structures at multiple length scales with selectively chosen ingredients. This inspiration is reflected in a wide range of synthetic architected nanocomposites. In this Perspective, we provide a brief overview of recent advances in the role of hierarchical architectures in MXene-based thin-film nanocomposites in the quest to achieve multiple functionalities, especially focusing on a combination of excellent EMI shielding, transparency, and mechanical robustness. We also discuss key opportunities, challenges, and prospects.

Abstract
Structural color is a color derived from optical interaction between light and a microstructure and is often seen in nature. Natural melanin plays an important role in bright structural coloration. For example, the vivid colors of peacock feathers are due to structural colors. The periodic arrangement of melanin granules inside the feathers leads to light interference, and the black granules absorb scattered light well, resulting in bright structural color. In recent years, polydopamine (PDA) has attracted attention as a melanin mimetic material. This review article summarizes recent research on structural coloration using PDA-based artificial melanin materials. It also outlines possible applications using bright structural colors realized by artificial melanin materials and future perspectives.

Abstract
Because of the unique features of spherical symmetry, angle-independency, good monodispersity, controllable components and morphologies, structural color particles (SCPs) have found great significances in various fields such as sensing, monitoring, biological assays, etc. Here, inspired by the melanosome-derived bright structural colors and the self-adhesivity of mussels, we present a kind of bioinspired SCPs assembled from polydopamine (PDA)-adhered multi-layer graphene oxide (GO) encapsulated silica nanoparticles (SNs). It is demonstrated that compared with traditional SCPs, the designed particles possess brighter and more vibrant structural colors, and no complicated modification is required during the functionalization process due to the abundant inherent functional groups of GO. The resultant SCPs are verified to be capable for direct hybridization chain reaction and multiplexed nucleic acid assays. These properties indicate the promising prospects of our designed SCPs.

Abstract
Mechanochromic effects in structurally colored materials are the result of deformation-induced changes to their ordered nanostructures. Polymeric materials which respond in this way to deformation offer an attractive combination of characteristics, including continuous strain sensing, high strain resolution, and a wide strain-sensing range. Such materials are potentially useful for a wide range of applications, which extend from pressure-sensing bandages to anti-counterfeiting devices. Focusing on the materials design aspects, recent developments in this field are summarized. The article starts with an overview of different approaches to achieve mechanochromic effects in structurally colored materials, before the physical principles governing the interaction of light with each of these materials types are summarized. Diverse methodologies to prepare these polymers are then discussed in detail, and where applicable, naturally occurring materials that inspired the design of artificial systems are discussed. The capabilities and limitations of structurally colored materials in reporting and visualizing mechanical deformation are examined from a general standpoint and also in more specific technological contexts. To conclude, current trends in the field are highlighted and possible future opportunities are identified.

Abstract
Biological systems possess nanoarchitectures that have evolved for specific purposes and whose ability to modulate the flow of light creates an extraordinary diversity of natural photonic structures. In particular, the striking beauty of the structural colouration observed in nature has inspired technological innovation in many fields. Intense research has been devoted to mimicking the unique vivid colours with newly designed photonic structures presenting stimuli-responsive properties, with remarkable applications in health care, safety and security. This review highlights bioinspired photonic approaches in this context, starting by presenting many appealing examples of structural colours in nature, followed by describing the versatility of fabrication methods and designed coloured structures. A particular focus is given to optical sensing for medical diagnosis, food control and environmental monitoring, which has experienced a significant growth, especially considering the advances in obtaining inexpensive miniaturized systems, more reliability, fast responses, and the use of label-free layouts. Additionally, naturally derived biomaterials and synthetic polymers are versatile and fit many different structural designs that are underlined. Progress in bioinspired photonic polymers and their integration in novel devices is discussed since recent developments have emerged to lift the expectations of smart, flexible, wearable and portable sensors. The discussion is expanded to give emphasis on additional functionalities offered to related biomedical applications and the use of structural colours in new sustainable strategies that could meet the needs of technological development.

Abstract
Most materials used for optical lighting applications need to produce a uniform illumination and require high mechanical and hydrophobic properties. However, they are rarely eco-friendly. Herein, a bio-based, polymer matrix-free, luminescent, and hydrophobic film with excellent mechanical properties for optical lighting purposes is demonstrated. A template is prepared by turning a wood veneer into porous scaffold from which most of the lignin and half of the hemicelluloses are removed. The infiltration of quantum dots (CdSe/ZnS) into the porous template prior to densification resulted in almost uniform luminescence (isotropic light scattering) and could be extended to various quantum dot particles, generating different light colors. In a subsequent step, the luminescent wood film is coated with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) via chemical vapor deposition. The presence of the quantum dots coupled with the HDTMS coating renders the film hydrophobic (water contact angle ≈ 140°). This top-down process strongly eliminates lumen cavities and preserves the orientation of the original cellulose fibrils to create luminescent and polymer matrix-free films with high modulus and strength in the direction of fibers. The proposed optical lighting material could be attractive for interior designs (e.g., lamps and laminated cover panels), photonics, and laser devices.

Abstract
Due to spontaneous organization of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into the chiral nematic structure that can selectively reflect circularly polarized light within a visible-light region, fabricating stretching deformation-responsive CNC materials is of great interest but is still a big challenge, despite such a function widely observed from existing creatures, like a chameleon, because of the inherent brittleness. Here, a flexible network structure is introduced in CNCs, exerting a bridge effect for the rigid nanomaterials. The as-prepared films display high flexibility with a fracture strain of up to 39%. Notably, stretching-induced structural color changes visible to the naked eye are realized, for the first time, for CNC materials. In addition, the soft materials show humidity- and compression-responsive properties in terms of changing apparent structural colors. Colored marks left by ink-free writing can be shown or hidden by controlling the environmental humidities. This biobased photonic film, acting as a new "smart skin", is potentially used with multifunctions of chromogenic sensing, encryption, and anti-counterfeit.

Abstract
Currently, the development of circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) materials has drawn extensive attention due to the numerous potential applications in optical data storage, displays, backlights in 3D displays, and so on. While the fabrication of CPL-active materials generally requires chiral luminescent molecules, the introduction of the "self-assembly" concept offers a new perspective in obtaining the CPL-active materials. Following this approach, various self-assembled materials, including organic-, inorganic-, and hybrid systems can be endowed with CPL properties. Benefiting from the advantages of self-assembly, not only chiral molecules, but also achiral species, as well as inorganic nanoparticles have potential to be self-assembled into chiral nanoassemblies showing CPL activity. In addition, the dissymmetry factor, an important parameter of CPL materials, can be enhanced through various pathways of self-assembly. Here, the present status and progress of self-assembled nanomaterials with CPL activity are reviewed. An overview of the key factors in regulating chiral emission materials at the supramolecular level will largely boost their application in multidisciplinary fields.

Abstract
Nature uses self-organized spatiotemporal patterns to construct systems with robustness and flexibility. Furthermore, understanding the principles underlying self-organization in nature enables programmable design of artificial patterns driven by chemical energy. The related mechanisms are however not clearly understood because most of these patterns are formed in reaction-diffusion (RD) systems consisting of intricate interaction between diffusion and reaction. Therefore, comprehensive understanding of the pattern formation may provide critical knowledge for developing novel strategies in both natural science and chemical engineering. Liesegang patterns (LPs) are one of the typical programmable patterns. This study demonstrates that appropriate tuning of gel concentration distribution is a key programming factor for controlling LP periodicities. The gel distribution was realized in bi- or multilayered gels constructed by stacking agarose gels of different concentrations. Thus, exceptional LP periodicities were achieved locally in bilayered gels. Furthermore, RD simulations revealed that the nucleation process modulated by the gel distribution determines the LP periodicity in bilayered gels. Finally, based on this concept, desired LP periodicities were successfully realized by programming gel distributions in multilayered gels. Thus, deep insights into the fundamental role of nucleation in designing LPs can lead to the practical applications of LPs and the understanding of self-organization in nature.

Abstract
Chameleons have a distinguished talent to rapidly shift their colors by active tuning of a lattice of guanine nanocrystals within a superficial thick layer of dermal iridophores. This reversible structural color variation is derived from the birefringence, which is triggered by the special anisotropic structure interacting with natural light. Inspired by the inorganic oligomers and their superiorities for constructing ultratough materials with a special structure, we demonstrated here a chameleon's skin-like film constructed by ultrasmall calcium phosphate oligomers (∼1.75 nm in diameter) as the precursor of crystalline hydroxyapatite nanoline (HNL) arrays and polyvinyl alcohol as the elastic matrix. The resulting films exhibit excellent toughness (48.3 ± 5.2 MJ m-3). Under the applied cyclic stress, the HNLs embedded in the polymer network can reversibly arrange into a highly ordered crystal arrays owing to the driving action of polymer chains. The intense birefringence of the stretched films is easily observed with the naked eye under crossed polarizers, allowing for rapid and simple measurement of the applied stress. This work provides a pathway for the development of functional composites with super toughness by ultrasmall inorganic oligomers for their potential applications in smart devices for stress detection.

Abstract
Assembling robust chiral biopolymer structures without compromising vivid optical iridescence is a grand challenge for biocomposite materials. Herein, we report a hierarchical nanocellulose nanostructure with a helicoidal organization co-assembled from chiral rigid cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and longer nanofibers isolated from the hydrolyzed wood pulp. This resulting highly iridescent chiral nanocellulose material is much tougher than traditional chiral CNC films. We found that the mixed nanocellulose are composed of needle-like nanocrystals and very long (up to 800 nm) flexible cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). Large-scale molecular simulation indicates that enhanced dynamic hydrogen bonding with labile networking facilitates mechanical reinforcement, owing to increased nanocrystal length, the co-assembly of nanofibrils in mixed bundles, and interchain entanglements. This study provides a novel strategy to transform the wood pulp residues into high-value-added photonic-bound polysaccharide materials. These hierarchical biomaterials can overcome the conflicting trends in designing balanced mechanical and optical performance of chiral biofilms and their conversion to robust chiral photonic materials with enhanced performance.

Abstract
Temperature is a fundamental parameter for all forms of lives. Natural evolution has resulted in organisms which have excellent thermoregulation capabilities in extreme climates. Bioinspired materials that mimic biological solution for thermoregulation have proven promising for passive radiative cooling. However, scalable production of artificial photonic radiators with complex structures, outstanding properties, high throughput, and low cost is still challenging. Herein, we design and demonstrate biologically inspired photonic materials for passive radiative cooling, after discovery of longicorn beetles' excellent thermoregulatory function with their dual-scale fluffs. The natural fluffs exhibit a finely structured triangular cross-section with two thermoregulatory effects which effectively reflects sunlight and emits thermal radiation, thereby decreasing the beetles' body temperature. Inspired by the finding, a photonic film consisting of a micropyramid-arrayed polymer matrix with random ceramic particles is fabricated with high throughput. The film reflects ∼95% of solar irradiance and exhibits an infrared emissivity >0.96. The effective cooling power is found to be ∼90.8 W⋅m-2 and a temperature decrease of up to 5.1 °C is recorded under direct sunlight. Additionally, the film exhibits hydrophobicity, superior flexibility, and strong mechanical strength, which is promising for thermal management in various electronic devices and wearable products. Our work paves the way for designing and fabrication of high-performance thermal regulation materials.

Abstract
Nanotextures play increasingly important roles in nanotechnology. Recent studies revealed that their functionalities can be further enhanced by spatially modulating the height of their nanoscale pixels. Realizing the concept, however, is very challenging as it requires "grayscale" printing of the nanopixels in which their height is controlled within a few nanometers as a micrometric function of position. This work demonstrates such a high vertical and lateral resolution grayscale printing of polymeric nanopixels. We realize the height modulation by exploiting the discovery that the capillary rise of certain photopolymers can be optically controlled to stop at a predetermined height with sub-10-nm accuracy. Microscale spatial patterning of the control light directly extends the height modulation into a two-dimensionally patterned, grayscale nanopixel printing. Its utility is verified through readily reconfigurable, maskless printing of grayscale nanopixel arrays in dielectric and metallo-dielectric forms. This work also reveals the highly nonlinear and unstable nature of the polymeric nanocapillary effect, expanding its understanding and application scope.

Abstract
Leafhoppers (Thaia rubiginosa) actively coat their wings with embroidered ball-like secretory brochosomes, which act as antireflective structures to enhance camouflage against predators. Inspired by the leafhoppers, we report a scalable nonlithographic approach for self-assembling nonclose-packed embroidered ball-like hierarchical structure arrays. The resulting structures create a gradual refractive index transition at the air/substrate interface, thereby suppressing the optical reflection for wide viewing angles. Compared with a bare substrate, the average reflectance of the structured substrate in the whole visible spectral region is reduced from 9 to 3% at normal incidence, and the average reflectance of that is even reduced by ca. 22% as the incident angle reaches 75°. Moreover, the dependence of the height and the shape of the hierarchical structure on the omnidirectional antireflection performance is systemically evaluated in this research.

Abstract
Disordered porous polymer structures have gained tremendous attention due to their wide applications in various fields. As a simple yet versatile technique, supercritical CO2 microcellular foaming has been proposed to fabricate highly scattering porous polymer films, which have been used to enhance the efficiency of quantum dots (QDs) films. In the foaming process, numerous enclosed pores are generated, which induce significant scattering, underpinning the efficiency enhancement in optoelectronic devices. However, the scattering property of foamed porous structures has still not been well investigated, and effective guidelines for engineering the porous structures are still not available. In this work, we use Mie scattering theory and ray-tracing simulation to analyze the optical property of a single pore, pore assembly, and porous film. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the scattering scheme in the porous QD films leads to a large enhancement of excitation light absorption and QD emission extraction. It is envisioned that our work will contribute to the engineering guidelines of porous structures and boost the application of porous structures in similar fields.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis is an effective way to convert solar energy into fuels, which is of great significance to energy production and reduction of atmospheric CO2 content. In recent years, 3D structured artificial photosynthetic system has made great progress as an effective design strategy. This review first highlights several typical mechanisms for improved artificial photosynthesis with 3D structures: improved light harvesting, mass transfer and charge separation. Then, we summarize typical examples of 3D structured artificial photosynthetic systems, including bioinspired structures, photonic crystals (PC), designed photonic structures (PC coupling structure, plasmon resonance structure, optical resonance structure, metamaterials), 3D-printed systems, nanowire integrated systems and hierarchical 3D structures. Finally, we discuss the problems and challenges to the application and development of 3D artificial photosynthetic system and the possible trends of future development. We hope this review can inspire more progress in the field of artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
We have previously found reversible photo-induced expansion and contraction of organic/inorganic clay hybrids, and even sliding of niobate nano-sheets at the macroscopic level of organic/inorganic niobate hybrids, induced by the molecular photo-isomerization of the polyfluoroalkylated azobenzene derivative (C3F-Azo-C6H) intercalated within the interlayer, which is viewed as an artificial muscle model unit. Based on systematic investigations of the steady state photo-isomerization and transient behavior of the reaction, we comprehended that the phenomena is caused by trapping of excess energy liberated during the isomerization, as well as the relaxation processes upon excitation of azobenzene chromophores in the interlayers of the hybrid. In this paper, quantitative estimation of transient 'heat' trapped in various microenvironments has been studied by each co-intercalation of temperature sensing dye molecules - rhodamine B (RhB) or tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(ii) chloride (Rubpy) with C3F-Azo-C6H within clay (SSA) nano-layers. The amount of dye molecules co-intercalated was kept to trace amounts that did not alter the bi-layered structure of the hybrid. The temperature of the microenvironment surrounding the probe molecules was estimated from the emission lifetime analysis. The evidently reduced emission lifetimes in C3F-Azo-C6H/SSA and C3H-Azo-C6H/SSA hybrids in the film state, indicated the elevation of temperature of the microenvironment upon excitation of the chromophores, which demonstrated our previous hypothesis rationalizing that the high reactivity of isomerization in the hybrid film state is caused by heat trapping via multi-step dissipation of the excess energy. With the hybrid of a hydrocarbon analogue (C3H-Azo-C6H), a distinct difference in temperature gradient was found to show the crucial role of the perfluoroalkyl chain of the surfactant that traps the excess energy to retard its dissipation leading to three-dimensional morphological motion.

Abstract
The counterfeiting of goods is growing worldwide, affecting practically any marketable item ranging from consumer goods to human health. Anticounterfeiting is essential for authentication, currency, and security. Anticounterfeiting tags based on structural color materials have enjoyed worldwide and long-term commercial success due to their inexpensive production and exceptional ease of percept. However, conventional anticounterfeiting tags of holographic gratings can be readily copied or imitated. Much progress has been made recently to overcome this limitation by employing sufficient complexity and stimuli-responsive ability into the structural color materials. Moreover, traditional processing methods of structural color tags are mainly based on photolithography and nanoimprinting, while new processing methods such as the inkless printing and additive manufacturing have been developed, enabling massive scale up fabrication of novel structural color security engineering. This review presents recent breakthroughs in structural color materials, and their applications in optical encryption and anticounterfeiting are discussed in detail. Special attention is given to the unique structures for optical anticounterfeiting techniques and their optical aspects for encryption. Finally, emerging research directions and current challenges in optical encryption technologies using structural color materials is presented.

Abstract
Liquid crystalline polymers with tunable structures on the scale of visible wavelength are important in optical technology due to their enhanced mechanical stability, processability, and structural integrity. Herein, we report a series of cholesteric liquid crystalline (CLC) polyethers with a widely tunable pitch length and a broad CLC phase window through a bottom-up structural design. The well-defined multicomponent polyethers were successfully synthesized by utilizing monomer-activated anionic ring-opening polymerization. Through adjustment of the composition of chiral cholesteryl (Ch) and photochromic azobenzene (Az) mesogenic moieties, rich phase behaviors have been discovered, and a phase boundary diagram was constructed consequently, wherein cholesteric helical superstructures in a broad composition range and temperature window straight down to the glassy state at room temperature were achieved. Particularly, the planar oriented helical superstructures can exhibit widely tunable and switchable reflections over the entire visible range across red, green, and blue colors through temperature and light control, which are closely related to the extraordinary flexibility of the polyether backbone. Their thermo-light dual-responsive properties provide an alternative opportunity to fabricate smart and switchable polymeric LC materials for optical applications.

Abstract
Inspired by the mechanoresponsive orientation of actin filaments in cell, we introduce a design paradigm of synthetic molecular self-assembling fibrils that respond to external mechanical force by transforming from a macroscopically disorder state to a highly ordered uniaxial aligned state. The incorporation of aromatic-containing amino acids and negatively charged amino acids lead to self-assembly motifs that transform into uniform nanofibrils in acidic solution. Adjusting the pH level of aqueous solution introduces optimal negative charge to the surface of self-assembling nanofibrils inducing long-range electrostatic repulsion forming a nematic phase. Upon external mechanical force, nanofibrils align in the force direction. Via evaporation casting in capillary confinement, the solvated synthetic self-assembling nanofibrils transform into scalable lamellar domains. Adjusting capillary geometry and drying procedure offers further parameters for tuning the mesoscale alignment of nanofibrils generating a variety of interference colors. The design paradigm of mechanoresponsive alignment of self-assembled nanofibrils as an addition of nanofabrication techniques is potentially employable for realizing biomimetic optical structures.

Abstract
Biological photonic structures can precisely control light propagation, scattering, and emission via hierarchical structures and diverse chemistry, enabling biophotonic applications for transparency, camouflaging, protection, mimicking and signaling. Corresponding natural polymers are promising building blocks for constructing synthetic multifunctional photonic structures owing to their renewability, biocompatibility, mechanical robustness, ambient processing conditions, and diverse surface chemistry. In this review, we provide a summary of the light phenomena in biophotonic structures found in nature, the selection of corresponding biopolymers for synthetic photonic structures, the fabrication strategies for flexible photonics, and corresponding emerging photonic-related applications. We introduce various photonic structures, including multi-layered, opal, and chiral structures, as well as photonic networks in contrast to traditionally considered light absorption and structural photonics. Next, we summarize the bottom-up and top-down fabrication approaches and physical properties of organized biopolymers and highlight the advantages of biopolymers as building blocks for realizing unique bioenabled photonic structures. Furthermore, we consider the integration of synthetic optically active nanocomponents into organized hierarchical biopolymer frameworks for added optical functionalities, such as enhanced iridescence and chiral photoluminescence. Finally, we present an outlook on current trends in biophotonic materials design and fabrication, including current issues, critical needs, as well as promising emerging photonic applications.

Abstract
Most natural biomolecules may exist in either of two enantiomeric forms. Although in nature, amino acid biopolymers are characterized by l-type homochirality, incorporation of d-amino acids in the design of self-assembling peptide motifs has been shown to significantly alter enzyme stability, conformation, self-assembly behavior, cytotoxicity, and even therapeutic activity. However, while functional metabolite assemblies are ubiquitous throughout nature and play numerous important roles including physiological, structural, or catalytic functions, the effect of chirality on the self-assembly nature and function of single amino acids is not yet explored. Herein, we investigated the self-assembly mechanism of amyloid-like structure formation by two aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine (Phe) and tryptophan (Trp), both previously found as extremely important for the nucleation and self-assembly of aggregation-prone peptide regions into functional structures. Employing d-enantiomers, we demonstrate the critical role that amino acid chirality plays in their self-assembly process. The kinetics and morphology of pure enantiomers is completely altered upon their coassembly, allowing to fabricate different nanostructures that are mechanically more robust. Using diverse experimental techniques, we reveal the different molecular arrangement and self-assembly mechanism of the dl-racemic mixtures that resulted in the formation of advanced supramolecular materials. This study provides a simple yet sophisticated engineering model for the fabrication of attractive materials with bionanotechnological applications.

Abstract
The integration of chiral organization with photonic structures found in many living creatures enables unique chiral photonic structures with a combination of selective light reflection, light propagation, and circular dichroism. Inspired by these natural integrated nanostructures, hierarchical chiroptical systems that combine imprinted surface optical structures with the natural chiral organization of cellulose nanocrystals are fabricated. Different periodic photonic surface structures with rich diffraction phenomena, including various optical gratings and microlenses, are replicated into nanocellulose film surfaces over large areas. The resulting films with embedded optical elements exhibit vivid, controllable structural coloration combined with highly asymmetric broadband circular dichroism and a microfocusing capability not typically found in traditional photonic bioderived materials without compromising their mechanical strength. The strategy of imprinting surface optical structures onto chiral biomaterials facilitates a range of prospective photonic applications, including stereoscopic displays, polarization encoding, chiral polarizers, and colorimetric chiral biosensing.

Abstract
Inspired by blood coagulation and mussel adhesion, we report novel adhesive fibrin-bone@polydopamine (PDA)-shell composite matrix as highly efficient immobilization platform for biomacromolecules and nanomaterials. Fibrin, as a bioglue, and PDA, as a chemical adhesive, are integrated in a one-pot simultaneous polymerization consisting of biopolymerization of fibrinogen and chemical polymerization of dopamine. Fibrin fibers act as adhesive bones to construct scaffold, while PDA coat on the scaffold to form adhesive shell, generating 3D porous composite matrix with unique bone@shell structure. Two types of enzymes (glucose oxidase and acetylcholinesterase) and Au nanoparticles were adopted as respective model biomolecules and nanomaterials to investigate the immobilization capability of the matrix. The bionanocomposites showed high efficiency in capturing nanoparticles and enzymes, as well as significant mass-transfer and biocatalysis efficiencies. Therefore, the bionanocomposites exhibited significant potential in biosensing of glucose and paraoxon with limits of detection down to 5.2 μM and 4 ppt, respectively. The biological-chemical-combined polymerization strategy and composite platform with high immobilization capacity and mass-transfer efficiency open up a novel way for the preparation of high-performance bionanocomposites for various applications, in particular, biosensing.

Abstract
The photonic nanojet (PNJ) is a narrow high-energy beam that was originally found on the back side of all-dielectric spherical structures. It is a unique type of energy concentration mode. The field of PNJs has experienced rapid growth in the past decade: nonspherical and even pixelized PNJ generators based on new physics and principles along with extended photonic applications from linear optics to nonlinear optics have driven the re-evaluation of the role of PNJs in optics and photonics. In this article, we give a comprehensive review for the emerging sub-topics in the past decade with a focus on two specific areas: (1) PNJ generators based on natural materials, artificial materials and nanostructures, and even programmable systems instead of conventional dielectric geometries such as microspheres, cubes, and trihedral prisms, and (2) the emerging novel applications in both linear and nonlinear optics that are built upon the specific features of PNJs. The extraordinary features of PNJs including subwavelength concentration of electromagnetic energy, high intensity focusing spot, and lower Joule heating as compared to plasmonic resonance systems, have made PNJs attractive to diverse fields spanning from optical imaging, nanofabrication, and integrated photonics to biosensing, optical tweezers, and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional nanosheet-based materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and MoS2 represent intriguing structures for a variety of biological applications ranging from biosensing to nanomedicine. Recent advances have demonstrated that peptides can be identified with affinity for these three materials, thus generating a highly unique bioconjugate interfacial system. This Review focuses on recent advances in the formation of bioconjugates of these types, paying particular attention to the structure/function relationship of the peptide overlayer. This is achieved through the amino acid composition of the nanosheet binding peptides, thus allowing for precise control over the properties of the final materials. Such bioconjugate systems offer rapid advances via direct property control that remain difficult to achieve for biological applications using nonbiological approaches.

Abstract
Whiteness is an intriguing property in some creature surfaces and usually originates from broadband multi-scattering by the refined structures. In this article, we report that Boehmeria nivea, a widely distributed tropical and subtropical plant, has a highly reflective layer on the lower surface of the leaf. Morphological characterization demonstrates that the layer consists of numerous wrinkled micro-filaments, forming a disordered porous network to efficiently scatter visible light. Moreover, the white layer is shown to exhibit a protection function by reflecting incident light when exposed to high radiation. The reflective layer can slightly improve the absorption by the leaves when light is incident on the upper surface of the leaves. In addition, the porous layer shows hydrophobicity. To mimic the white layer, a well-established electrospinning process is used to fabricate porous polymeric membranes, consisting of nano-wrinkled filaments with micro-sized diameter. Finally, the artificial membranes are demonstrated to have a light-shielding function in a photo-chromic experiment and a light-management ability for quantum dot film.

Abstract
Gain amplification and coherent lasing lines through random lasing (RL) can be produced by a random distribution of scatterers in a gain medium. If these amplified light sources can be seamlessly integrated into biological systems, they can have useful bio-optical applications, such as highly accurate sensing and high-resolution imaging. In this paper, a fully biocompatible light source showing RL and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with a reduced threshold is reported. Random cavities were induced in a biocompatible silk protein film by incorporating an inverse opal with an inherent disorder and a biocompatible dye for optical gain into the film. By choosing the appropriate air-sphere diameters, clear RL spikes in the emission spectra that were clearly distinguished from those of the ASE were observed in the silk inverse opal (SIO) with optical gain. Additionally, the RL output exhibited spatial coherence; however, the ASE did not. The high surface-to-volume ratio and amplification of the SIO led to highly efficient chemosensing in the detection of hydrogen chloride vapor. Moreover, SIO could be miniaturized to be made suitable for injection into biological tissues and obtain RL signals. Our results, which open the way for the development of a new generation of miniaturized bio-lasers, may be considered as the first example of engineered RL with biocompatible materials.

Abstract
We prepared a colloidal amorphous array by applying uniaxial pressure to a powder of monodispersed colloidal silica particles. Pellet-shaped samples were obtained that exhibit different structural colors depending on the diameter of the particles. We characterized the optical properties of the arrays by measuring the angle-dependent scattering spectrum wherein several spectral peaks were observed. The peak at the longest wavelength was caused by the short-range order of the particle arrangement. Interestingly, this peak exhibited a smaller shift in wavelength than that observed in similar samples prepared by several different methods. The other spectral peaks were thought to originate from Mie scattering, which produces a color when the diameter of the colloidal particles is appropriately chosen. Our results showed that uniaxial pressure application can be a suitable method to prepare structurally colored pigments with low angle dependence.

Abstract
A photo-responsive nanoscroll composed of niobate nanosheets and a polyfluoroalkyl azobenzene derivative (C3F-Azo-C6H) is one of the most interesting layered materials because the reversible winding and unwinding motion could be efficiently induced by photo-irradiations. Previously, we have studied a double-walled nanoscroll (DWNS) of niobate that could be synthesized by the intercalation of a cationic polyfluorinated surfactant only into the interlayer I of the layered niobate among the two interlayers, I and II. In this study, we have successfully synthesized another novel photo-responsive single-walled nanoscroll (SWNS) of niobate by a stepwise guest-guest ion-exchange method. All niobate nanosheets that were exfoliated at both interlayers I and II were efficiently converted to nanoscrolls by the intercalation of C3F-Azo-C6H. The synthetic yield has been quantitatively estimated. Though the photo-isomerization reaction of C3F-Azo-C6H was induced in the SWNS, its photo-reactivity was the lowest when compared with those of the nanosheet-stacked film and the DWNS. The photo-reactivity of C3F-Azo-C6H decreased in the order of DWNS > nanosheet-stacked film > SWNS. The different flexibility of the layered miroenvironment might influence the photo-reactivity of C3F-Azo-C6H in the niobate hybrid. The SWNS exhibited a reversible expansion and shrinkage of its interlayer spaces upon photo-irradiation, while the winding and unwinding motion was not observed, contrary to the DWNS. The direction of the expansion and shrinkage of the interlayer of the SWNS was opposite to those of the nanosheet-stacked film and the DWNS. Based on the experimental results, the tilt angle of C3F-Azo-C6H against the nanosheet surface and the matching structures of the top and bottom surfaces of the nanosheet could be the probable key factors that control the photo-reactivity of C3F-Azo-C6H in the layered microenvironment; the morphological changes of the nano hybrids was also discussed.

Abstract
Engineering the helical structure of chiral photonic materials in three dimensions remains a challenge. 3D helix engineered photonic materials are fabricated by local stratification in a photopolymerizable chiral nematic liquid crystal. The obtained chiral photonic materials reflect both handedness of circular polarized light and show super-reflectivity. Simulations match the experimentally observed photonic properties and reveal a distorted helical structure. 3D engineered polymer films can be made that reflect both left- and right handed circular and linear polarized light dependent and exhibit a changing color contrast upon altering the polarization of incident light. Hence, these 3D engineered photonic materials are of interest for new and emerging applications ranging from anti-counterfeit labels and data encryption to aesthetics and super-reflective films.

Abstract
The synthesis and self-assembled nanostructures of a series of nucleopeptides (NPs) derived from the dipeptide Phe-Phe and the peptide nucleic acid unit which are covalently attached through an amide or a triazole linker are described. Depending on the variables such as protecting groups, linkers, and nucleobases, spherical nanoparticles were observed through scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images, and the porous nature of representative NPs was corroborated by carboxyfluorescein entrapment. Hydrophobic substituents on different sites of NPs and solvents employed for peptide self-assembly played a crucial role for corresponding morphologies. The stability of nanoparticles was also probed under external stimuli such as pH, temperature, and enzymatic hydrolysis using proteolytic enzymes. The semiconducting nature of the NP-modified carbon electrodes suggested their potential use as a new capacitor material.
