Spider drinks graphene, spins web that can hold the weight of a human
The webbing was on par with bulletproof Kevlar in strength.
These are not your friendly neighborhood spiders: scientists have mixed a graphene solution that when fed to spiders allows them to spin super-strong webbing. How strong? Strong enough to carry the weight of a person. And these spiders might soon be enlisted to help manufacture enhanced ropes and cables, possibly even parachutes for skydivers, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
Graphene is a wonder-material that is an atomic-scale hexagonal lattice made of carbon atoms. It's incredibly strong, but it was definitely a shot in the dark to see what would happen if it was fed to spiders.
For the study, Nicola Pugno and team at the University of Trento in Italy added graphene and carbon nanotubes to a spider's drinking water. The materials were naturally incorporated into the spider's silk, producing webbing that is five times stronger than normal. That puts it on par with pure carbon fibers in strength, as well as with Kevlar, the material bulletproof vests are made from.

I think we should like, stop. Surely there is no sane reason to be doing this

Can I feed graphene to my house spiders to ensnare anyone who tries to destroy their webs?

Important question: how cute are they? Anywhere near jumping spiders?

All spiders are cute, and I support this effort to make spiders stronk

Next experiment: enlarging spiders to human size.

Great. Now we have to reboot Spider-Man again.

Can't wait until next year when they unveil Maexxna and her brood just in time for summer.
