Bioinspired process makes materials light, robust, programmable at nano- to macro-scale
Ultralight web of silk nano fibers withstands load 4,000 times its weight
01-Mar-2017 -
Researchers at Tufts University's School of Engineering have developed a new bioinspired technique that transforms silk protein into complex materials that are easily programmable at the nano-, micro- and macro-scales as well as ultralight and robust. Among the varied structures generated was a ...
