Chief spider engineer
Series title
Nature = Future! Saison 1Both in nature and in our homes, spider webs seem to hang on just a few fragile threads.... And yet, on closer inspection, they are found to be devilishly solid and sophisticated!
How and why how do spiders produce them? What applications can we expect to develop from them? Arachnologist Christine Rollard gives us the keys to understanding a highly resourceful species and Hervé Elettro describes the physical and mechanical properties of spider threads.
