@guidetti_giu showed how plants and ancient Roman glass fragments a display unexpected optical behaviors.

[Silklab @The_SilkLab]

We are at @Materials_MRS #F23MRS with oral presentations, posters, and science as art entries.

@fio99re @guidetti_giu @MarcoLoPresti16 @Taehoon44568346 @JeffRoshko @eli_ruggeri Nick and Xuelian.

[Silklab @The_SilkLab]

@Taehoon44568346 presented reconfigurable photonic crystals fabricated through the fine control of silk assembly at the nanoscale.

[Silklab @The_SilkLab]

Xuelian presented mono-material silk-based super capacitors.

[Silklab @The_SilkLab]

Prof. Omenetto talked about interfacing silk with food both as an edible material and as a stabilizer. @fio99re

[Silklab @The_SilkLab]

@JeffRoshko is showing how to turn kilometers of natural fibers into kilometers of protein film. All while securing a nomination for best poster award!

[Silklab @The_SilkLab]

@eli_ruggeri started it off showing the latest advancements in wearable technologies for lactate monitoring

[Silklab @The_SilkLab]

Explore how dazzling colors on an ancient Roman glass fragment arise from a stunning blend of natural assembly processes and cutting-edge optical technology.
