Esque vos vos ha unquam meraviliate de vider como un tela de aranea pote extender se sin rupturas quando un musca veni colpar lo a plen velocitate? Le ingenieros in cerca de materiales que sia al mesme tempore legier e resistente sempre ha invidiate le aranea pro su filo de seta.

Ma ora qualque biolotechnologos britannic, secundo le "Times" de London, ha patentate un methodo de isolar le sequentia genetic responsabile de iste proprietates insolite del tela de aranea e implantar los in un certe bacterio que les permitte producer iste typo de seta a lor discretion! Illes dice que iste filo poterea esser utilisate in diverse applicationes commercial e industrial, includente le manufactura de vestes paraballas pro le armea e le policia.

It is now possible to produce massive quantities of spiderweb silk.

Have you ever marveled at seeing how a spiderweb can stretch without breaking when a fly hits it at its fastest speed? Engineers in search of light and resistant materials have always envied the spider for its silky web.

But now some British biotechnologists have patented a method of isolating the genetic sequence responsible for these unusual properties of spiderwebs and implanting them in a certain bacterium that allows them to produce this kind of silk at their discretion! They say that this fiber could be used in several commercial and industrial applications, including the manufacture of bulletproof vests for the army and the police.
