The world's first artificial silk fiber made of recombinant spider silk proteins
AMSilk, a spin-off of the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, has produced the world's first artificial silk fiber that is entirely made of recombinant spider silk proteins.
In a new study, scientists have figured out how spider silk is able to catch the morning dew, which may lead to the development of new materials that are able to capture water from the air.
