🕷️ Spider silk — 5x stronger than steel, 3x tougher than Kevlar — is finally hitting mass production.
Kraig Biocraft targets 10 tons/month via gene-edited silkworms. Japan's Spiber brews protein fiber like beer, already in North Face & Toyota.

Using CRISPR, scientists have successfully engineered silkworms to spin organic supersilk that is six times tougher than Kevlar.
This breakthrough will soon revolutionize modern medicine and fashion.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Poised for Explosive Spider Silk Production Growth renewable-carbon.eu/news/?p=173415 #bioeconomy #biopolymers #naturalfibers #proteinfibers #spidersilk #RenewableCarbon
Field emission scanning elactron microcopy image showing the microscopic structure of a lower web radius of the Australian netcaster (Asianopis subrufa). The thread contains two separate strands, each of which is made of a soft silk core with fine loops of nanofibres attached to it. Upon extension, the thread initially behaves like a soft elastomer, but as soon as the fibre loops straighten they add to the load resistance of the thread, causing a mixed mechanical profile that combines elasticity with strength.
The special thread meta-structure of the hyperextensible web radii is a looped-fibre reinforced elastomer - seen in all its beauty in this image - which just won the Royal Society Photo Competition! royalsociety.org/journals/pub...

Spider silk is "as strong as steel, incredibly elastic and environmentally friendly." So much potential!
But, it is very difficult to farm spiders.🕷️🕸️
The solution? Researchers found a way to create spider silk in a lab.

You maniacs made our first spider silk story go viral… so here’s the sequel: Kraig Biocraft’s worm army just went industrial 🐛🏭✨ Government deals, record production, and tactical yoga pants spun by bugs.

A brown butterfly with a bold white patch on its wing rests on the tip of a pale, silvery leaf, viewed from the side against a smooth green background. Fine strands of spider silk curve through the frame, and a tiny spider hides under a lower leaf. Soft daylight and shallow depth of field isolate the subjects, with wide empty space to the left.

🚨BREAKING: Tech just got so silky.
Kraig Labs is teaming up with a Southeast Asian gov to scale its genetically engineered spider silk. Yes, this is real. Yes, it involves rearing facilities. Yes, we wrote about it.👇
