Ingenuity in a Spider [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1874
A SPIDER constructed its web in an angle of my garden, the sides of which were attached by long threads to shrubs at the height of nearly three feet from the gravel path beneath. Being much exposed to the wind, the equinoctial gales of this autumn destroyed the web several times.

Nanostructured Protein Surfaces Inspired by Spider Silk

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing recombinant spider silk technology, bioengineered spidroin variants enable the creation of functionalized nanostructured coatings with tunable affinity for specific targets, supporting a broad range of applications ‐ from antifouling surfaces and targeted drug delivery to advanced cell therapies and precision bio‐patterning via lithography ...

Habit of Spiders [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1882
I HAVE frequently observed that when a shock of any kind is imparted to the leaves or twigs, to which the web of the garden spider is affixed, the animal shakes violently in the centre of the web, so as to become almost or totally invisible to the eye; this quivering or dancing motion being kept up for many seconds, and then suddenly stopped.

Bioinspired Spider Silk Fiber of MOF‐Based Zwitterionic Hydrogel for Low‐Humidity Atmospheric Water Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A bioinspired spider silk fiber (i.e., PCLC) of MOF‐Based Zwitterionic Hydrogel is designed to achieve the high efficient water uptake and releasing for atmospheric water harvesting in low humidity, which confirm its high reversibility of water vapor adsorption, and also good cycling stability as well, providing new insights into the design of advanced

A Proteomics and Transcriptomics Investigation of the Venom from the Barychelid Spider Trittame loki (Brush-Foot Trapdoor)

open access: yesToxins, 2013
Although known for their potent venom and ability to prey upon both invertebrate and vertebrate species, the Barychelidae spider family has been entirely neglected by toxinologists. In striking contrast, the sister family Theraphosidae (commonly known as

Phase retrieval via regularization in self-diffraction based spectral interferometry

open access: yes, 2014
A novel variant of spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER) is introduced and experimentally demonstrated. Other than most previously demonstrated variants of SPIDER, our method is based on a third-order nonlinear ...

Araneae and Opiliones From \u3ci\u3eTypha\u3c/i\u3e Spp. And \u3ci\u3ePhragmites Australis\u3c/i\u3e Stands of Green Bay, Lake Michigan, and an Exotic Spider Species Newly Reported From the U.S. Great Lakes Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Invertebrates were sampled using pan traps in three paired sets of Typha spp. (cattail) and Phragmites australis (giant reed grass) habitats in Lake Michigan’s Green Bay in June and September 2002.

Exploring 3D Printing and Electrospinning Technologies for Advanced Porous Membrane Fabrication: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper contrasts electrospinning and 3D printing for porous membrane fabrication, evaluating their evolution, cost, resolution, mechanical traits, and scalability. While 3D printing excels in material diversity and industrial adaptability, electrospinning achieves finer resolution and thermal resilience.
