The low-divergence synchrotron radiation X-rays can be focused down to sub-micrometer size, enabling scanning studies of the wood nanostructure with (sub-)microscopic position resolution. This article highlights very recent advances in the understanding of silk and wood micro- and nanostructure, which were only possible using synchrotron radiation and neutrons. Examples include the local breakdown of cellulose fibre texture in wood cell walls, the deformation mechanism of a single wood cell, the viscoelastic properties of silk and insight into molecular mechanisms in silk upon mechanical deformation.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1002/adem.201000347} (DOI).
