Scientists are rewriting spider DNA to create fibers stronger than steel — strong enough, they believe, to anchor an elevator ...

Jan. 31 -- It may be impossible to craft a silk purse from a sow's ear. But one day, it may be possible to fashion a silk bulletproof vest from, of all things, goat's milk. For decades, scientists ...

“Our team is making continuous refinements to tailor the reeling equipment for spider silk, and we’re already seeing how those adjustments lead to better, more consistent fibers.” Automated reeling ...

Scanning electron microscopy images of fibers from engineered spider silk. To validate their computational findings, the Northwestern team used spectroscopy techniques to examine how the protein ...

The number of times I have walked into a spider web is pretty comical. At first, I saw them as a nuisance during my forest adventures, but upon a closer look with my macro lens, I began to notice that ...

Spider webs are made from a protein fiber which we call silk. It is both strong and stretchy but not all spider silk is the same, there are several different types. Spiders produce silk using special ...

Yet despite decades of interest from the military, biomedical researchers, and textile designers, spider silk remained mostly out of reach. Why? Spiders can’t be farmed. They’re territorial, solitary, ...
