Nature, 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.

Ballooning Spiders: The Case for Electrostatic Flight [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We consider general aspects of the physics underlying the flight of Gossamer spiders, also known as ballooning spiders. We show that existing observations and the physics of spider silk in the presence of the Earth's static atmospheric electric field indicate a potentially important role for electrostatic forces in the flight of Gossamer spiders.

Hooke and Coulomn Energy of Tripod Spiders [PDF]
Proceedings of Ilia Vekua Institute ofApplied Mathematics, Vol 72
(2022) 39-46, 2023 Tripod spiders are the simplest examples of arachnoid mechanisms. Their workspaces and configuration spaces are well known. For Hooke potential, we give a complete description of the Morse theory and treat the robust control of the spider. For the Coulomb energy, we use stationary charges and the trapping domain to study the robust control of spiders ...

Advanced 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.

Influence of maternal diet on offspring survivorship, growth, and reproduction in a sheetweb spider
Biology Open, 2020 Prey vary dramatically in quality, and maternal diet is generally assumed to substantially influence offspring survivorship, growth, and reproduction in spiders.

Spider web-inspired acoustic metamaterials [PDF]
, 2016 Spider silk is a remarkable example of bio-material with superior mechanical characteristics. Its multilevel structural organization of dragline and viscid silk leads to unusual and tunable properties, extensively studied from a quasi-static point of ...

Nature, 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.
