A collaborative study involving researchers from Imperial College London, the University of Michigan Engineering, and Tufts University has unveiled a novel application of silk threads.
The resulting materials possess plastic-like characteristics and are transparent, suggesting a range of possible uses in advanced technologies.
Notably, these silk-derived materials can twist terahertz frequencies of light, which may have implications for the development of 6G technology and beyond.
