Did you know that a spider’s web is actually five times stronger than a strand of steel the same thickness. It is also believed that a spider web made of strands as thick as a pencil could stop an aeroplane in flight!
Dang! Spiders are awesome, lets not talk about them having blue blood ( more on the link cited above ). Lets stop and think about strength of the web and imagine the time comes when we can harness the strength of the spider's silk (yes, its only a matter of time ) this could revolutionize our skyscrapers, the way we engineer our buildings and bridges. Imagine if we can use that potential and somehow merge that with the hot new potential tech called graphene.
