2017年7月26日 · Now, researchers at the University of Cambridge have created a new material that mimics spider silk’s strength, stretchiness and energy-absorbing capacity.

2024年1月22日 · The artificial silk gland was able to re-create the complex molecular structure of silk by mimicking the various chemical and physical changes that naturally occur in a spider's silk...

2024年9月27日 · Scientists created artificial spider silk that can heal wounds. The silk, produced using microbes, was woven into bandages that effectively treated injuries in mice. The silk is strong, biocompatible, and could be used in future medical applications.

2019年11月22日 · Here, we report on an artificial spider silk produced by the water-evaporation-induced self-assembly of hydrogel fibre made from polyacrylic acid and silica nanoparticles.

2023年5月3日 · Researchers have made a breakthrough in synthetic spider silk production, potentially enabling more sustainable clothing manufacturing. By using engineered mussel foot proteins to create bi-terminal Mfp fused silks (btMSilks), they achieved an eightfold increase in yield and improved strength and toughness, paving the way for an eco-friendly ...

2022年7月1日 · Spider silk is the toughest fibre found in nature. When stretched or pulled, it can absorb more energy than steel or nylon without rupturing, and can be used to make bulletproof vests. It is...

2017年7月10日 · Researchers have designed a super stretchy, strong and sustainable material that mimics the qualities of spider silk, and is ‘spun’ from a material that is 98% water. This method of making fibres could be a sustainable alternative to current manufacturing methods.

Fabricating artificial spider silk fibers in bulk scale has been a major goal in materials science for centuries. Two main routes have emerged for making such fibers.

2024年1月28日 · Researchers have successfully engineered a device that creates artificial spider silk, a material renowned for its remarkable properties.

2024年1月22日 · Scientists believe lightweight, ultra-strong and flexible spider silk is now one step closer to commercial use thanks to a deceptively complex 'box' that can spin nature's wonder fiber in a...
