Researchers have developed a new technology that creates strong, sticky fibers capable of lifting objects and capturing ...

[Joel Creates] is one such example with his Spider-Man wrist-mounted web-shooters. Previously, [Joel] had built a web-slinging system based around a pressurized tank of hot glue worn like a backpack.

Why it matters: Scientists from Tufts University are one step closer to replicating the silk secreted by spiders, and the "accidental breakthrough" could eventually lead to sci-fi style web ...

Researchers at Tufts University’s Silklab have developed sticky fibers inspired by spider silk that may be the closest real-life example of Spider-Man’s web shooters we’ve ever seen.

And that still didn’t work. Loot in Spider-Man would be…what? Web shooters? Masks? I don’t think so, and without loot and a build/power pursuit, that’s half the chase of most live games in ...

The researchers at Tufts University have created a real-life version of Spider-Man's web-shooters, and it’s not just some sticky string in a can. This is cutting-edge biomimicry at its finest.
