The fabrication of composite microfibres with tunable topography and chemical composition is now possible with a microfluidic method that mimics the fibre-spinning process of spiders. The method allows for the synthesis of a variety of structurally and spatially coded fibres for multiple applications, such as directional water harvesting and the co-culture of encapsulated cells.
