Compartmentalized protein expression in the spider silk gland provides clues to spinning more sustainable materials.

To overcome this challenge, the study authors used graphene as the base, and upon it, carefully arranged uniform 2D layers of ...

While working on a project to create super-strong adhesive using a silk moth protein known as fibroin, researcher Marco Lo Presti noticed a web-like material had formed in the bottom of his ...

"Consequently, employing genetically modified silkworms to produce spider silk fibre enables low-cost, large-scale commercialisation." The fact that this is a natural protein fibre means the ...
