Tufts University's Silklab has created the first web-slinging technology in which a fluid material shot from a needle almost immediately solidifies and is strong enough to adhere to and pick up objects.
The researchers’ sticky fibers come from silk moth cocoons , which are broken down into their fibroin protein building blocks by boiling them in solution.
When tested, the fibers were able to lift over 80 times their own weight.
