New silk materials can wrinkle into detailed patterns, then unwrinkle to be “reprinted”

October 7, 2019 sarah Jonas 0 Comments Material Science

Engineers developed silk materials that can wrinkle into nanotextured patterns – including words, textures and images as intricate as a QR code or a fingerprint. The patterns are stable, but can be erased by flooding the surface of the silk with vapor, allowing the it to be printed again. Researchers see many applications in optical electronics
