Spider silk is making the news again this week. Scientists
have now figured out how to make this amazing material out of bacteria. Not
only is the silk as strong as steel, but it is also more tensile than ever
before. With so many new ways of mass producing the silk, you can be assured
that spider silk will be the “it” material of the future. For fans of
Spidersilk the novel, this is especially exciting. Soon, we may be able to wear
clothing that is as durable and protective as the spider silk used to protect
the main character Mark.
