Researchers used the light-guiding properties of spider silk to develop a sensor that can detect and measure sugar concentrations based on refractive index. The sensor is made from silk from the giant ...
DENVER, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recombinant spider silk produced by living organisms, ultra-light carbon fiber composites, and next-generation aerogels are no longer lab curiosities, they ...
The prospect of exploiting spider silk's combination of optical and mechanical properties has been an attractive proposition to designers for some time. Back in 2008 a project at Tufts University ...

Spider silk is thinner than hair and works in cold—scientists explain how it’s made
A single strand of spider dragline silk is roughly five times thinner than a human hair. Drop it into liquid nitrogen at ...
Researchers have harnessed the light-guiding properties of spider silk to develop a sensor that can be used to determine concentrations of fructose, sucrose and glucose sugars based on changes in a ...
