Spider silk is tougher and lighter than steel - German scientists have added tiny amounts of metal to spider silk to make it even stronger and more elastic.
The technique could lead to the development of super-tough textiles, surgical thread or artificial tissues such as bones or tendons, the researchers claim.
To make the silk, the researchers borrowed a trick from nature with the goal of further enhancing its properties.
