Abstract
Two of the key questions to be addressed are whether and how one can turn cocoon silk into fascinating materials with different electronic and optical functions so as to fabricate the flexible devices. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the unique strategy of mesoscopic functionalization starting from silk fibroin (SF) materials to the fabrication of various meso flexible SF devices is presented. Notably, SF materials with novel and enhanced properties can be achieved by mesoscopically reconstructing the hierarchical structures of SF materials. This is based on rerouting the refolding process of SF molecules by meso-nucleation templating. As-acquired functionalized SF materials can be applied to fabricate bio-compatible/degradable flexible/implantable meso-optical/electronic devices of various types. Consequently, functionalized SF can be fabricated into optical elements, that is, nonlinear photonic and fluorescent components, and make it possible to construct silk meso-electronics with high-performance. These advances enable the applications of SF-material based devices in the areas of physical and biochemical sensing, meso-memristors, transistors, brain electrodes, and energy generation/storage, applicable to on-skin long-term monitoring of human physiological conditions, and in-body sensing, information processing, and storage.

Abstract
Silkworm silk has been considered to be a luxurious textile for more than five thousand years. Native silk fibroin (SF) films have excellent (ca. 90%) optical transparency and exhibit fluorescence under UV light. The silk dyeing process is very important and difficult, and methods such as pigmentary coloration and structural coloration have been tested for coloring silk fabrics. To functionalize silk that exhibits fluorescence, the in vivo and in vitro assembly of functional compounds with SF and the resulting amplification of fluorescence emission are examined. Finally, we discuss the applications of SF materials in basic optical elements, light energy conversion devices, photochemical reactions, sensing, and imaging. This review is expected to provide insight into the interaction between light and silk and to inspire researchers to develop silk materials with a consideration of history, material properties, and future prospects.

Abstract
Gain amplification and coherent lasing lines through random lasing (RL) can be produced by a random distribution of scatterers in a gain medium. If these amplified light sources can be seamlessly integrated into biological systems, they can have useful bio-optical applications, such as highly accurate sensing and high-resolution imaging. In this paper, a fully biocompatible light source showing RL and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with a reduced threshold is reported. Random cavities were induced in a biocompatible silk protein film by incorporating an inverse opal with an inherent disorder and a biocompatible dye for optical gain into the film. By choosing the appropriate air-sphere diameters, clear RL spikes in the emission spectra that were clearly distinguished from those of the ASE were observed in the silk inverse opal (SIO) with optical gain. Additionally, the RL output exhibited spatial coherence; however, the ASE did not. The high surface-to-volume ratio and amplification of the SIO led to highly efficient chemosensing in the detection of hydrogen chloride vapor. Moreover, SIO could be miniaturized to be made suitable for injection into biological tissues and obtain RL signals. Our results, which open the way for the development of a new generation of miniaturized bio-lasers, may be considered as the first example of engineered RL with biocompatible materials.

Abstract
Inspired by the suppression of the coffee ring effect, we developed self-assembled disk lasers that can be formed with a wide variety of biomaterials. For proof of concept, we formed the disks with the natural protein silk fibroin or the synthetic biopolymer polyvinylpyrrolidone, which created a whispering gallery mode resonator that we combined with organic dyes for laser light generation. The lasers were flexible enough to bend around surfaces, physically transient in aqueous environments, and could be directly placed on various substrates. Moreover, the characteristics of laser emission could be modified by altering the size of the disk. Our results therefore highlight a new combination of materials that can be used in the environmentally friendly production of waste-free photonic devices.

Abstract
Stretchable and conformable synapse memristors that can emulate the behaviour of the biological neural system and well adhere onto the curved surfaces simultaneously are desirable for the development of imperceptible wearable and implantable neuromorphic computing systems. Previous synapse memristors have been mainly limited to rigid substrates. Herein, a stretchable and conformable memristor with fundamental synaptic functions including potentiation/depression characteristics, long/short-term plasticity (STP and LTP), "learning-forgetting-relearning" behaviour, and spike-rate-dependent and spike-amplitude-dependent plasticity is demonstrated based on highly elastic Ag nanoparticle-doped thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU : Ag NPs) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The memristor can be well operated even at 60% strain and can be well conformed onto the curved surfaces. The formed conductive filament (CF) obtained from the movement of Ag nanoparticle clusters under the locally enhanced electric field gives rise to resistance switching of our memristor. These results indicate a feasible strategy to realize stretchable and conformable synaptic devices for the development of new-generation artificial intelligence computers.
