Spider silk is not stronger than steel. But that shouldn't stop us from studying it, or from thinking of it as a wonder material. At best, spider silk might compare to steel when it comes to ...

This isn't science fiction, you know. Spider silk is stronger than steel. Scientists in Sweden have come up with a more efficient way to produce artificial spider silk in labs. It might soon be ...

By Katherine J. Wu Pound for pound, spider silk is stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar. But it doesn’t start out that way. The silk starts out in a liquid form called dope (literally ...

Spider silk is often touted as some of the strongest material on Earth: According to some calculations, it can be up to five times stronger than steel cable of similar weight—though that ...

It can print your 3-D models in stainless steel. Rapid prototyping is slowly moving from being the preserve of design engineers into the public domain, and RP company Shapeways just announced an ...

Researchers have developed a way to consistently produce a special type of stainless steel known as 17-4 PH using additive manufacturing, or 3D printing. Using 3D printing for steel and other ...

Compared with previous reports from the literature on 3D printed metal fiber-reinforced polymer composites, the stainless steel composites significantly enhanced mechanical performance. In terms of ...
