India is preparing to launch its first 1,200-horsepower hydrogen-powered train in May, setting a global benchmark. This initiative, along with developments like the 9,000-horsepower locomotive ...

When they weave their webs, spiders pull their silk threads. New simulations show stretching during spinning causes the protein chains within the fibers to align and the number of hydrogen bonds ...

They also found that stretching increased the number of hydrogen bonds, which act like bridges between the protein chains to make up the fiber.

Understanding how the stretching process strengthens spider silk is a key part of helping design stronger, biodegradable, silk-inspired materials for various applications. When spiders spin their webs ...
