Spider silk is used for electronic computer chips

Spiders and some creatures can use silk to form very strong cocoons or cocoons. But now scientists also detect spider silk that can be used in computer electronics chips.

Spider silk is a metamaterial: stronger than steel, harder than Kavlar, ductile and flexible. In particular, light can be transmitted through silk as easily as through an optical cable.

Huby, a scientist at the Rennes, France Institute of Physics, and his research team succeeded in transferring laser light on a piece of silk in the chip of the chip. Silk thread can transmit information to electronic devices. Mrs. Huby hopes that after research and improvement, the yarn will enhance her data transmission ability.

Silk fibers 10 times smaller in diameter than 1 hair can be used in medical endoscopic devices. In addition, silk does not cause side effects to the human body so it can be used for transplantation into the body. Scientist Fiorenzo Omenetto of Tufts University in Massachusetts intends to create a silk gauze, which incorporates an electronic observation device to monitor infection in patients after surgery.
