In the spring, they will thaw out, pupate in cocoons and emerge as Isabella tiger moths. “While there’s no scientific backing to the idea that the banding color can predict winter weather ...

While working on a separate project involving extra-strong adhesives, the Tufts University Silklab team discovered that the silk from silk moth cocoons can be turned into a shootable, sticky protein ...

Researchers have come up with an incredible breakthrough that even Spider-Man would be jealous of. They’ve developed a new technology that creates strong, sticky fibers capable of lifting ...

Scientists claim to have developed a Spider-Man style silk adhesive made from moth cocoons. The researchers from Tufts University's Silklab in Massachusetts said they utilised silk fibroin from ...

The base of this wonder material is silk fibroin, a protein extracted from moth cocoons. The researchers added a cocktail of ingredients that would make even Peter Parker's head spin. They ...

Scientists have created a material mimicking Spider-Man's sticky web fluid. While researching adhesives, Tufts University discovered that silk from moth cocoons can be turned into a shootable, sticky ...

These fibers are made from silk moth cocoon proteins called fibroin, which are extruded through narrow needles. When shot into the air, they solidify, allowing the researchers to pull on objects.
