Silk fibers may become the secret ingredient in the next round of high tech natural “metamaterials”

Far from just being a luxurious clothing material, silk could have numerous applications in engineering and biomedicine. This was the conclusion that an international team of multi-disciplinary scientists came to in their study, published in Nature Communications. According to the investigators, the nano-architecture of silk makes it highly effective at causing “Anderson localization of light.” […]
