Studio Visit: Silklab at Tufts University¶
The Silklab does very interesting research using liquified silks to 3d print, create optical lenses, screenprint, etc. Because the silks are first reduced to a liquid form, they are able to embed and reprogram different aspects of the silks to have really specific functions.
