International Business Times unpacks INO Armor's founding, which was shaped by a near-fatal tragic event, and explores the ...

A groundbreaking study by University of Nebraska–Lincoln biologists has revealed that funnel-weaving spiders, also known as ...

Spiders don’t just spin webs—they engineer them. By stretching their silk as they spin, spiders strengthen the fibers at the ...

Simulations showed that stretching aligns protein chains and increases hydrogen bonds, which act like tiny bridges between ...

Many species of spiders make a new web every day, including the orb-weaving spider Uloborus diversus. They therefore produce ...

“When they spin silk out of their silk gland, spiders use their hind legs to grab the fiber and pull it out. That stretches ...

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 ...

When they weave their webs, spiders pull their silk threads. New simulations show stretching during spinning causes the protein chains within the fibers to align and the number of hydrogen bonds ...
