Bionic silkworms with spider genes spin fibers 6x tougher than Kevlar
20.9.2023: For the first time, scientists have successfully produced full-length spider silk fibers using genetically modified silkworms. With high strength and toughness, this silk has the potential to provide a scalable, sustainable and better-quality alternative to current synthetic fibers like nylon. The fibers that silkworms build their cocoons with has been cultivated for thousands of years, but while plentiful it’s famously brittle. Spiders, meanwhile, produce enviably tough and strong silk, however, cultivating it on any sort of scale has been...
