Zusammenfassung:Inkjet‐printed enzyme‐powered silk‐based micro‐rockets are able to undergo autonomous motion in a vast variety of fluidic environments including complex media such as human serum. By means of digital inkjet printing it is possible to alter the catalyst distribution simply and generate varying trajectory behavior of these micro‐rockets. Made of silk scaffolds containing enzymes these micro‐rockets are highly biocompatible and non‐biofouling.
