Flexible electronic devices are necessary for applications involving unconventional interfaces, such as soft and curved biological systems, in which traditional silicon‐based electronics confront a mechanical mismatch. Silk offers exquisite mechanical, optical, and electrical properties that are advantageous toward the development of next‐generation biocompatible electronic devices. On page 4250, X. Chen and co‐workers summarize the recent progress in the design and integration of silk‐based flexible electronic devices where the silk materials can serve not only as passive but also as active components.
