Tap to induce nanofiber growth: Mechanical force applied by a tapping AFM tip can break peptide nanofibers into active “seeds” for local growth of new nanofibers at liquid/solid interfaces (see AFM images). The combination of such an approach with certain solution conditions allows one to fabricate peptide-nanostructure-patterned surfaces.
