Spider Silk Company and its Growth As the advancements in science take giant leaps forward, man's appetite to best his own self with new discoveries continues to grow. It would be an understatement to say that a lot has to be achieved now. Of course, there is a lot to reach out for, but judging by the kind of world we live in now, it just seems dreamy sometimes. Man has achieved so much and harnessed so much from Mother Nature that you can only imagine what the next big thing might be. The latest advancement in the field of Genetic Engineering is the production and usage of Spider Silk. Commonly found in nature as a material used by spiders to weave a web or catch a prey, this silk finds much more uses than its basic ones.
Being naturally occurring, one might wonder what could possibly be so special about this kind of silk. Well, hold on to your hats. As gentle and petty the name might sound, this silk is stronger than steel, while also holding the distinction of being tougher than both steel and Kevlar. Yes, it is true. This miraculous material is responsible for most of the today's body armor technology. Kevlar was typically known to be the sturdiest material that was being used for military grade equipments. Now, it has been joined by the spider silk company in collaboration to produce high-end, life safety –affirming armors and equipments. It is suffice to quote here: "Do not judge a book by its cover." Just the same way, you just cannot judge the strength of a substance by just looking at it. Being able to be generated by almost every spider species known to man in almost 7 different ways, the abundance of this special silk is like cherry on the cake. It has now been established that it is available for commercial shipment.
Also since it is available naturally, the use of silkworms has been upped by the Spider Silk Company. The reason being simple- silkworms are known to spin one of the best kinds of silk in nature. Hence by genetically modifying the constitution of original silk, we have been able to create a high-performance material worth loads of investment for our industries. There is more to this nature than what meets the eye. The kind of materials we have harnessed from it over the ages has told us that it is possible to create high-end lives for us, and really not exhaust our options. The nature takes care of us as
