Conductive Aerogels: Amyloid Fibril‐Templated High‐Performance Conductive Aerogels with Sensing Properties (Small 45/2020)

Aerogels are ultralight solid materials formed by replacing the liquid phase found in hydrogels by air. In article number 2004932, Canhui Lu, Raffaele Mezzenga, and co-workers show that using protein amyloid nanofibrils as templates, it is possible to design a new class of high-performance conductive aerogels for smart devices, such as biosensors, wearable bioelectronics, pressure sensors and adaptable microsystems.
