There is an increasing interest in developing advanced materials based on natural resources. In this article, Senentxu Lanceros‐Méndez, Carlos M. Costa, and co‐workers, article number 2000111 , report on magnetic nanocomposites based on Silk Fibroin (SF) polymer with magnetic CoFe 2 O 4 (CFO) nanoparticles. Together with the discussion of the physico‐chemical aspects of this nanocomposite, the suitability of the materials for electronic applications has been demonstrated though the development of a magnetic actuator.
