“The house had large golden concrete blocks that appeared to be three stories high even though it actually was only two. The large glass door was tinted, having a faded bronze handle, purposely looking very old even though it was fairly new. Mark reached for the obvious touchpad on the door and touched it, causing a barely audible custom ringtone to sound from the inside.” _Spidersilk the novel

If you’ve been keeping up with spider silk news, then you’re certain to be impressed with the latest development. Scientists have actually created a way to make spider silk into battle ship quality steel. Although the use of the material as a form of steel have been realized for some time now, this is the first time we have seen the product as battle quality steel, which is much different from that used on automobiles and more. This steel is created by mixing silk with a special bacteria, which the combination creates a powder that can make a wide assortment of substances like gel and fibers. This exciting development won’t just shape the defense department of the future but will also change construction and more in the civilian world.

“Sett insisted that this trip be a technology ‘detox’ event and convinced Geb to turn stuff in my house got moved around a bit.

“Mark peered closely at one; he could sense the non-human thing that it was. Was it logical, smart, or primitive? They seemed actually very intelligent, with possibly a “munster” sort of intelligence, and it responded to him. Immediately, it sort of lay flat on the ground in a sort of non-threatening way. The others made a sort of circle around him, moving with his movements.”_Spidersilk the novel

Spider silk is helping to make history in one town in Massachusetts. The town of Lowell was known for textiles back in the 1700s, but due to changes in technology and economy the town lost its standing as a main textile producer. However, now the university has been granted a lot of money to explore spider silk in regard to creating new forms of silk and other fabrics. This grant could put the US on the map as far as using spider silk in production for clothing. It could also lead to a wider variety of clothing that would make the fashion industry more sustainable. Time will only tell how many fabrics this research will create, as well as how many other secrets it will uncover from studying the amazing spider silk DNA.
