Secret of silk may have been solved

[dArKeR]

Scientists say they may have worked out how spiders and silkworms are able to produce such strong fibers to spin their webs and cocoons.

 THEY SAY THAT if they are right, their research could be used to produce silk in the laboratory for extra-strong protective clothing, sports equipment and even replacement bone tissue.
       Silk is the strongest natural fiber known to man but scientists have yet to replicate its strength. They have managed to purify silk into powder but have not been able to turn it into material.
       “The problem is that when people take these purified powders and try to make useful materials, they fall well short,” said David Kaplan, professor of biomedical engineering at Tufts University in Massachusetts.

The difference between scum sucking Repukes and a honest moral Democrats; we spend our tax money to improve life and discover the wonders of life. Repukes spend our tax money at the will of SATAN's murderous and butcherous rule toward the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

2. Democrats do their fair share of crap research.

Republicans do a great deal of wonderful, life improving, research as well. Neither side has a lock on the right and moral path. Let's never forget taht we are equally capable of doing incredibly stupid shit, just like the opposition.
