And fiberglass that are incredibly stable with a little help from nature researchers are now developing a range of high tech materials with some amazing characteristics. This is the inspiration for what could be the super material of the future. Spider so this researchers all wrapped up its stronger than steel yet more flexible than rubber natures High Performance raw material but obtaining the soap directly from spiders is difficult even in tiny amounts it could never be profitable. At the university of by right in southern germany thoma scheibel has been researching potential industrial applications for a super silk. Weve made some decisive breakthroughs first we managed to recreate the raw material both in terms of mechanical properties and scalability that means it could be made on an industrial scale second we made the thread and not just any threat we made thread the way spiders make it with all the properties it has in nature or maybe even slightly better ones.
