Computational analysis provides new insights into silk's mechanical properties that was unavailable experimentally ...

"Spiders perform the drawing process naturally ... The experimental results agreed with the simulation's predictions. "If you don't stretch the material, you have these spherical globs of ...

You’re even utilizing spider lunges when performing the World's Greatest Stretch, so, you might have already done it, too. Intrigued? Here’s how to do spider lunges step-by-step, the benefits ...

"Spiders perform the drawing process naturally ... its mechanical properties are actually quite weak," Graham said. "But when it's stretch up to six times its initial length, it becomes very ...

And the combination of its strength and stretch is exactly why scientists are obsessed with cloning spider silk. Now, there are seven types of spider silks, but one has caught the eye of ...
