Protein‐protein imprinting of silk fibroin is introduced as a rapid, high‐throughput method for the fabrication of nanoscale structures in silk films, through the application of heat and pressure. Imprinting on conformal surfaces is demonstrated with minor adjustments to the system, at resolutions comparable to other currently available nonplanar nanoimprint lithography techniques.
