Submission + - Spider Silk Turned Into Electrical Wire Lead To 'Green' Electronics
The goal is to create new electronics that are as tough as they are eco-friendly. Spider silk is supposedly as strong as steel and as "impenetrable as Kevlar" — but now it can also conduct electricity. To give the spider silk this effect, the scientists coated each silk thread with carbon nanotubes.
The results are super strong conductors that are also fully biodegradable.
