A dispersion of a peptide amphiphile into water forms hierarchical fibril structures, leading to a supramolecular hydrogel. In contrast to polymeric hydrogels, such gel exhibit a transition between sol and gel states. Here, we report on a spatial heterogeneity during the sol-to-gel transition by a p...
