The new variant is being showcased at the 19th Toshali Mela, which commenced on Wednesday at Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar ...

Simulations showed that stretching aligns protein chains and increases hydrogen bonds, which act like tiny bridges between ...

Computational analysis provides new insights into silk's mechanical properties that was unavailable experimentally ...

When they weave their webs, spiders pull their silk threads. New simulations show stretching during spinning causes the protein chains within the fibers to align and the number of hydrogen bonds ...

Silkworms are the heart of one of the most fascinating natural processes in textile production. As they spin their silk threads, a delicate journey unfolds from cocoon to luxurious fabric. The threads ...

Scientists finally cracked the code on making fabric that can generate electricity from body heat by creating a special ...

When spiders spin their webs, they use their hind legs to pull silk threads from their spinnerets. This pulling action ...

The cribellum consists of thousands of tiny spigots each producing a tiny fibril of silk. This means that the thread produced is actually made up of thousands of smaller fibrils. The wool-like thread ...

When spiders spin their webs, they use their hind legs to pull silk threads from their spinnerets. This pulling action doesn't just help the spider ...

From the hidden world of electrostatic ecology, where insects harness static electricity for survival, to the engineering ...
