Simulations showed that stretching aligns protein chains and increases hydrogen bonds, which act like tiny bridges between ...
Spiders don’t just spin webs—they engineer them. By stretching their silk as they spin, spiders strengthen the fibers at the ...
By extruding engineered spider silk proteins and then stretching them by hand, the team has developed artificial fibers ...
Naturally, good science doesn’t happen overnight. There are a few contenders for the strongest spider silk among which the golden silk orb-weaver gets the most attention, but the black widow’s ...

To Spin Silk Five Times Stronger Than Steel, Spiders Perform a Stretching Trick“When they spin silk out of their silk gland, spiders use their hind legs to grab the fiber and pull it out. That stretches ...
Not only does spider silk combine the useful properties of high tensile strength and extensibility, it can be beautiful in its own right. 'Silk is an amazing material,' says Jan Beccaloni, our ...
By extruding engineered spider silk proteins and then stretching them by hand, the team has developed artificial fibers similar to threads from the golden silk orb weaver, a large spider with a ...
