DESCRIPTION:Fiorenzo G. Omenetto\, Tufts University\nThe 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 purifie
 d silkworm silk can be reassembled\, among other things\, in a multitude o
 f high quality\, micro-andnanostructured optical and optoelectronic elemen
 ts largely or entirely composed of this organic\, biocompatible and implan
 table protein matrix truly opening a new silk road that brings together th
 e biological and high-tech worlds.
