Butterflies combine physical and chemical principles to generate bright colors in their wings - Lyropteryx apollonia does so using a new type of pigment. @guidetti_giu @Taehoon44568346 @MarcoLoPresti16 @fio99re @TuftsBME @TuftsEngineer #OSA_OpEx opg.optica.org/oe/fulltext.cf…

Silk-based sensors enable overcoming key challenges in real-time health monitoring through machine learning-driven analysis of smartphone camera readouts. @eli_ruggeri @GiusyMatzeu @vergine_andrea_ @fio99re @TuftsBME @TuftsEngineer onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

@guidetti_giu showed how plants and ancient Roman glass fragments a display unexpected optical behaviors.

We are at @Materials_MRS #F23MRS with oral presentations, posters, and science as art entries. @fio99re @guidetti_giu @MarcoLoPresti16 @Taehoon44568346 @JeffRoshko @eli_ruggeri Nick and Xuelian.

@Taehoon44568346 presented reconfigurable photonic crystals fabricated through the fine control of silk assembly at the nanoscale.

Xuelian presented mono-material silk-based super capacitors.

Prof. Omenetto talked about interfacing silk with food both as an edible material and as a stabilizer. @fio99re

@JeffRoshko is showing how to turn kilometers of natural fibers into kilometers of protein film. All while securing a nomination for best poster award!

@eli_ruggeri started it off showing the latest advancements in wearable technologies for lactate monitoring

Explore how dazzling colors on an ancient Roman glass fragment arise from a stunning blend of natural assembly processes and cutting-edge optical technology. @TuftsUniversity @TuftsEngineer @TuftsBME @ccht_venice @IITalk @PNASNews @fio99re @guidetti_giu nature.com/articles/d4397…
