Researchers Turn To Silk For Flexible E-Devices
angry tapir writes "Researchers at a Taiwan university say they have found a way to use silk membranes in flexible electronic devices and started talks with manufacturers about adopting the unusual but cheap material. After less than two years of study motivated by news that silk had untapped properties, an engineering professor and two post-graduate students at Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University figured out how to use the soft, low-cost material for flexible e-book readers, LED displays and radio-frequency identification tools."

I've decided to Diversify my Holdings. I've divided my cash between my left and right pockets, instead of all in one.
they start with something called Liquid Silk. Try doing a google search for that ...
