Discover scientists: This is how we shoot with artificial spider silk!

In the latest podcast in the "IQ - science tells quickly", episode 104, a fascinating topic is examined: the imitation of spider silk by scientists. The researchers have managed to develop an artificial version of this remarkable material that is known for its strength and flexibility. The special thing about it? These researchers use the artificial spider silk to be able to "shoot" them similar to the comic figure Spiderman.

spider silk, a material that is produced by the bags of spiders, has inspired scientists for years. Thanks to their impressive properties that are available in nature, many applications in medicine and technology will find. The imitation of these properties by artificial spider silk could set far -reaching impulses for different industries.

The innovation in material research

The episode explains how the researchers make these spider silk synthetically and what challenges have to be overcome. Art is not only to imitate the chemical structure, but also in the ability to bring and use the material in shape. By "shooting" the spider silk, the scientists create opportunities that could be used in the textile industry or even in surgery.

The podcast offers a quick and informative overview of these amazing progress in materials science. It is examined how such innovative approaches can not only shape the future of artificial materials, but also open new ways of application.

The development of this technology has not only aroused scientific interest, but could also help practitioners in many areas to develop new solutions by using these light and stable synthetic. Particular attention is paid to the potential use in medical technology, where the possible uses for life -saving procedures could be increased by manipulating such materials.

Due to the enormous potential of these artificial spider silk, it remains exciting to pursue how research develops. The discussion on this is lively and shows the great hope that is in this technology.
