2D silk protein layers on graphene pave the way for advanced microelectronics and computing [19-09-2024]
A research team led by scientists at the Department of Energy´s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has tamed the tangle. They report in the journal Science Advances that they have achieved a uniform two-dimensional (2D) layer of silk protein fragments, or "fibroins," on graphene, a carbon-based material useful for its excellent electrical conductivity.
