根据第三段最后“Having found that one of the key features that gives spider silk its strength is that the hydrogen bonds are arranged regularly in space and at a very high density, the researchers successfully replicated (复制) the structures found on spider silk by using soy protein isolate ...
Spider silk is a natural fiber with ultimate toughness and excellent environmental tolerance, and biomimicking its relevant structures is helpful to fabricate desirable hydrogel fibers. For the high toughness of spider silk, theoretical and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that β-nanocrystalline domain...
Tens of thousands of spider species have been identified throughout the world. These arachnids have eight legs, two body segments, and no wings or antennae. Spiders have three or four pairs of eyes. Many spiders have poor vision, but some species of spiders, such as the jumping spider, hav...
