Researchers long have been interested in spider silk because of its remarkable properties. It’s stronger than steel, tougher ...

Spider webs combine complex principles of physics and chemistry to create one of the world's most remarkable substances. We explain how.

Known for its unmatched relative strength and flexibility, which could find uses in novel textiles, spider silk has long eluded efficient synthetic replication, in part because it has been ...

When their collaboration to produce recombinant spider silk proteins in yeast yielded promising results, the duo decided to challenge the status quo in the textile industry by commercially producing ...

When spiders spin their webs, they use their hind legs to pull silk threads from their spinnerets. This pulling action doesn't just help the spider release the silk, it's also a crucial step in ...
