Researchers have developed a method to create a two-dimensional silk protein layer on graphene, enhancing its potential in ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a new filtration material that could offer a nature-based solution to this persistent ...

A new filtration material might provide a nature-based solution to water contamination by PFAS chemicals. The material, based on natural silk and cellulose, can remove a wide variety of these 'forever ...

The cortical protein material (sericin) is readily dispersed by hot solutions of soap or mild alkali, while the protein material (fibroin) forming the core of the filament is insoluble in water ...

Memristors, used in neural networks, allow computers to mimic how the human brain functions. Atomic force microscope image of ...

Devices were fabricated by simply mixing an organic indicator (phenol red), an enzyme (horseradish peroxidase) or a small protein (haemoglobin) into the water-based fibroin solution. The solution ...

Chronic diabetic wounds confront a significant medical challenge because of increasing prevalence and difficult-healing ...

MIT researchers have created a new water filtration material from natural silk and cellulose that removes PFAS and heavy ...

A filtration material based on natural silk and cellulose could prove effective in removing PFAS, better known as known as ...

The researchers used a self-assembly method in which the silk fibroin protein is suspended in water and then templated into nanofibrils by inserting "seeds" of cellulose nanocrystals. This causes ...

Membranes based on natural silk and cellulose can remove many contaminants, including 'forever chemicals' and heavy metals.

These microspheres are composed of an inverse opal framework with photothermal responsiveness, constructed from methacrylated hyaluronic acid, methacrylated silk fibroin, and black phosphorus ...
