Researchers create a silk-graphene layer for sensitive transistors and neural network computing.

Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a uniform two-dimensional layer of silk protein fragments on graphene. This innovative combination could lead to sensitive transistors for wearable health sensors and memory transistors for neural network computing. The method is non-toxic and water-based, enhancing biocompatibility. Future studies aim to improve the stability and conductivity of these silk-integrated circuits and explore biodegradable electronics.
