txchnologist: by Charles Q. Choi Spider silk is the toughest known material made by organisms, more than 10 times stronger than Kevlar. Now scientists have enhanced it with carbon nanotubes, making it even tougher than normal spider silk and electrically conductive as well, findings that could lead to novel silk-based electronics. The natural fiber’s strength makes […]
