Researchers draw inspiration from spider silk for lighter body armor, stronger airplane components, and microphones mimicking spider web vibrations for hearing loss treatments.
Spider webs allow arachnids to detect sound vibrations from 10 feet away by moving with the flow of air, influencing the design of sensitive microphones.
Silk fibers in spider webs interact with air viscosity, leading to the potential development of microphones sensing sound through air motion, unlike human-designed devices.
