Cave-dwelling orb spiders have adapted their webs so they act as tripwires for prey that crawl on the walls of the caves ...

Running or driving around in a massive world is always enjoyable, but there's something incredibly liberating about gliding ...

The story of silk is full of the extraordinary. First Paraguay and Suriname have caterpillars larger than any in Europe, ...

In a key development on the banking front, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has approved the amalgamation of Silk Bank Limited (SILK) with and into United Bank Limited (UBL). UBL, one of the ...

ATLA Image The State Department notified Congress this week of a potential $200 million foreign military sale to support Japan’s Hyper Velocity Gliding Projectile program – an indigenously ...

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 ...

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse still doesn't have a release date, and it's extremely unlikely we'll see it this year. However, it's not all bad news as we do have confirmation of the ...

By simulating spider silk in a computational model, the team discovered the stretching process aligns the protein chains within the fibers and increases the number of bonds between those chains ...

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 ...

Understanding how the stretching process strengthens spider silk is a key part of helping design stronger, biodegradable, silk-inspired materials for various applications. When spiders spin their webs ...
