That is bold claim and could be a bit misleading same time.
Doesn't clarify the material is actually:
-the strongest spider web ( that could be true)
or
-strongest ever material ( which is very doubtful)
Anyway our technology for producing could be only artificial , but findings could be useful in discovery better then resin bonding agents for carbon fiber ropes and sheets.
you see , even you get caught into this trap.
Spider is sprayed with nanotubes already and incorporate that into silk,
His own silk used as a glue to bond our carbon nanotubes ,
instead of resin.
Spider silk could be stronger then resin used in our laminates, who knows ?
That is like our carbon fibre material. We provide that fiber glass and spider provide resin.
BTW we do produce perfect carbon structures in the form of:
-crystals - diamonds
- sheets
-balls
-nano tubes
and no spider could invent anything stronger or better. Even whole physics cant's see better material then that to be feasible in nearest future I am afraid.
They claim strongest material ever measured ![]()
Nothing new anyway, I see spiderfibre is in Mr Severne's new sails ![]()

Just remember that many natural , organic products are biodegradable.
So don't expose your sails to contact with water, that could speed up the process.
Keep your sail always in upright position away from water.
