Researchers have developed a method to turn silkworm silk into a high strength, biodegradable material. By using specific temperature and pressure settings instead of harsh chemicals, they created a transparent substance that rivals carbon fiber plastics in ballistic tests. This sustainable alternative could replace synthetic materials in aviation, automotive industries, and medical implants. Because it is fully biodegradable and dissolves slowly in the body, it offers a low carbon path for high tech industrial applications.
