Ancient golden fabric, known as sea silk, has been successfully recreated

12 Haziran 2026Science Daily

Researchers in South Korea have successfully recreated the legendary 'sea silk,' a fabric once cherished by emperors. This innovative fabric is made from fibers derived from clams found in Korean coastal waters.
The golden shine of the sea silk is attributed to microscopic protein structures that reflect light, allowing the color to endure for centuries without fading.
Sea silk, historically used in luxurious garments, was lost for nearly 2,000 years, making its recreation a significant achievement in textile research. The findings may also contribute to the broader field of biomimicry, where natural structures inform innovative material science.
The revival of sea silk highlights the intersection of ancient craftsmanship and modern scientific techniques. By understanding the structural properties of the fibers, researchers not only bring back a lost art but also open avenues for sustainable fashion materials.
