On page 4771 , Mady Elbahri and co‐workers report on the fabrication of a smart, nanofibrous, plasmonic bio‐nanocomposite developed for the first time by bridging the gaps between nanofluid filtration, plasmonics, and bioswitching. The primary bio(protein)‐functionalized nanofibrous membrane catches metal nanoparticles through switchable conformational changes of the protein, despite its macroporosity. The metal nanoparticle/biofunctionalized nanofibrous mat can subsequently act as an omnidirectional black absorber.
