Transient electronic systems represent an emerging class of technology that is defined by an
ability to fully or partially dissolve, disintegrate, or otherwise disappear at controlled rates or …

Some of the most abundant biomass on earth is sequestered in fibrous biopolymers like
cellulose, chitin, and silk. These types of natural materials offer unique and striking …

For centuries, Bombyx mori silkworm silk fibroin has been used as a high-end textile fiber.
Beyond textiles, silk fibroin has also been used as a surgical suture material for decades …

Soft and stretchable electronic devices are important in wearable and implantable
applications because of the high skin conformability. Due to the natural biocompatibility and …

Regeneration of tissues using cells, scaffolds and appropriate growth factors is a key
approach in the treatments of tissue or organ failure. Silk protein fibroin can be effectively …

Biological photonic structures can precisely control light propagation, scattering, and
emission via hierarchical structures and diverse chemistry, enabling biophotonic …

Electronics that are capable of intimate, non-invasive integration with the soft, curvilinear
surfaces of biological tissues offer important opportunities for diagnosing and treating …

This review addresses the use of silk protein as a sustainable material in optics and
photonics, electronics and optoelectronic applications. These options represent additional …

We present a simple and effective method to obtain refined control of the molecular structure
of silk biomaterials through physical temperature-controlled water vapor annealing …

The development of chemical sensors and biosensors over several decades has been
investigated resulting in novel and very interesting sensor devices with great promise for …
