We can produce spider silk fibers stronger than those created by the spiders themselves. This according to the Professors Jan Johansson (KI) and Anna Rising (KI and SLU).

Janne Johansson, Department of Biosciences and Nutrition (BioNut) and Anna Rising, BioNut and SLU, are conducting research about artificial spider silk. Read about how we can create stronger spider silk fibers than the spiders themselves in an article from SLU on forskning.se. Link below.
