Spider Web

Spider web believed to be stronger than steel. The U.S. military had planned to make bullet proof jackets made ​​of spun spider's web. Even if the net was twisted into thick as a pencil and spread in space, a Boeing 747 in flight can be stopped by it.

 Its strength also appeared to still be multiplied by Insert certain metal particles. Seung-Mo Lee of the Max Planck Institute of Microstucture Physics in Halle (Germany, managed to increase the strength of a spider's web until doubled. One strand of spider web that has been engineered to lift loads weighing 27.5 grams.
Spider webs have a unique design with engineering calculations. If we enlarge the size of the spider be human, it made ​​a net that will have a height of about 150 meters. can you imagine a human being alone can make buildings with a height of 150 meters. only with ingredients that are in themselves .... amazing.

Why be like that, scientists have been researching about these things over the centuries, the answer is hidden in the construction of the silk. Research conducted by the manufacturing companies the new international chemicals can determine some of the material from the spider's thread.

Making silk spider is much stronger than natural fibers or synthetic fibers of any that we know. Recognizing this, scientists began to experiment to understand how spiders make. They think that it is as easy as taking silk from silkworms. But apparently they thought wrong.

The manner in which spiders were remarkably similar to the process used to make industrial fibers such as nylon: harden spider silk with the silk to make acid. Vollrath focused his research on spiders park known as Araneus diadematus, and check the channel through which the silk before it came out of his body. Before entering this channel, composed of silk proteins of silk. In these channels, special cells remove water from the silk proteins. Hydrogen atoms derived from water are pumped to other parts of the channel and produce an acid bath. When the silk proteins in contact with the acid, the proteins are folded and each other to form bridges that harden the silk.

Of course the formation of silk is not as simple as that, the mixture ratio between the elements that are generated are very important. For example, if the sticky threads created, and the amount of adhesive material is inadequate, then the ability to capture prey will be lost. If too much adhesive material, effectiveness of nets will be reduced. To achieve the desired objectives, the products of other glands must be used with the correct levels.

when asked what the most powerful ingredient in the world, the answer is Spider web.
