The use of silk as a material for technological applications has been introduced over the past few years. Silk is now finding new applications as a useful biocompatible material platform with utility in photonics and electronics, ranging from nanoscale optical lattices to metamaterials. We will overview how purified silkworm silk can be reassembled, among other things, in a multitude of high quality, micro-andnanostructured optical and optoelectronic elements largely or entirely composed of this organic, biocompatible and implantable protein matrix truly opening a new silk road that brings together the biological and high-tech worlds.
