Silk Fibers Could Be High-Tech โ€˜Natural Metamaterialsโ€™

New research has demonstrated how the nano-architecture of a silkwormโ€™s fiber causes โ€œAnderson localization of light,โ€ a discovery that could lead to various innovations and a better understanding of light transport and heat transfer. The discovery also could help create synthetic materials and structures that realize the phenomenon, named after Nobel laureate Philip Anderson, whose
