Cooperative effects enhance the transport properties of molecular spider teams [PDF]
, 2013 Molecular spiders are synthetic molecular motors based on DNA nanotechnology. While natural molecular motors have evolved towards very high efficiency, it remains a major challenge to develop efficient designs for man-made molecular motors.

Artificial spider silk from ion-doped and twisted core-sheath hydrogel fibres
Nature Communications, 2019 Spider silks show unique combinations of strength, toughness, extensibility, and energy absorption. To date, it has been difficult to obtain spider silk-like mechanical properties using non-protein approaches. Here, we report on an artificial spider silk

Blueprint for a high-performance biomaterial: full-length spider dragline silk genes. [PDF]
, 2007 Spider dragline (major ampullate) silk outperforms virtually all other natural and manmade materials in terms of tensile strength and toughness. For this reason, the mass-production of artificial spider silks through transgenic technologies has been a ...
