artificial spider silk

Scientists have found a way to transform the bacterial gene to create a super strong spider silk.

This work was done by a team at Washington University (Saint Louis, Missouri, USA) using bacteria to synthesize spider silk proteins.

American chemists from the Air Force Research Laboratory and Purdue University reported their new military invention. It was a bulletproof vest based on spider silk.

Spider silk is stronger than steel and harder than Kevlar, but successfully building on a large scale in the laboratory is still an obsession for scientists for decades.

The lightweight and durable Moon Parka artificial silk jacket will be the perfect choice for cold days.
