Beautiful paper by our PhD student Dinidu Perera in Small (2021 impact factor: 15.153) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm… Most detailed experimental study of the local nanomechanics of spider silk to date! First determination of adhesion strength between individual spider silk nanofibrils.

Today, our PhD student Ben Skopic's paper on the amazing adhesive behavior of the brown recluse spider's tape silk was published in Materials Horizons! We will never think the same way again about sticky tapes: doi.org/10.1039/D2MH00… Another beautiful example of bio-inspiration.
