okay, I reported on the vision 'the future is made of glass' before (a vision by Corning), so this post might look like I changed my mind...
The glass vision was more about gadgets though, whereas the capabilities of silk are somewhat of a different -more fundamental- nature, according to Fiorenzo Omenetto. The potential applications look (almost) limitless... and sustainable!
From TED: "Fiorenzo Omenetto shares 20+ astonishing new uses for silk, one of nature's most elegant materials -- in transmitting light, improving sustainability, adding strength and making medical leaps and bounds. On stage, he shows a few intriguing items made of the versatile stuff."
