"silk's elasticity, durability, strength, but sable, orderly instead of its naturally disordered state, by way of precision laboratory conditions... biocompatible: nontoxic, water-based... sensitive, tunable transistor... protein layer packed in precise parallel β-sheets... field effect: switch flips on/ off in response to signal... adding antibody to it when target protein binds causes transistor to switch states... microelectronics (wearable, implantable health sensors), computing (memristors in neural networks)"
