Reoccurring Patterns in Hierarchical Protein Materials and Music: The Power of Analogies

Complex hierarchical structures composed of simple nanoscale building blocks form the basis of most biological materials. Here, we demonstrate how analogies between seemingly different fields enable the understanding of general principles by which functional properties in hierarchical systems emerge...
