16.000 fibers from honey
(8) | 27/09/2011 | That made Korean sweet ' beard of Dragon ' in Seoul's Namdaemun market.
A material lighter than air Prof. Ray Baughman and his team of scientists at NanoTech Institute, they have developed a kind of artificial muscle fibers with carbon nanotube growth in dense structure. These fibers have some really outlandish properties. It is lighter than air, stronger than steel and more flexible than rubber.- Spider catches a snake in her Web The Cairns region in Queensland, Australia, the photographer Daniel Rarnton met a spider eating a snake that had caught in her Web. The snake trapped in gold tissue a spider Nephila, which attacked him immediately. Nephila spiders weave webs largest in world (over a meter in diameter), whose fibers have a characteristic golden color.
- Spiders “winding” the Web as guitar The fibers in the Spider Web vibrate like guitar chords, as scientists say. Playing with the strings and detecting vibrations via sensors in the legs of, a spider gets information about what is on the Web.
- False door for predators In the dry savannah and scrubland, the tiny bird Anthoscopus minutus builds its nest from spider silk and plant fibers. Builds a false entrance and secret chamber in its nest to avoid predators. See how he closes the 'door' as he leaves, leaving the false entrance ajar.
- Building a table with contact sensors The construction of a coffee table equipped with capacitive sensors and optical fibers.
- The production of silk Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by the silkworm (the larva of the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori). Silk production is a complex process involving many stages. Female silkworms lay eggs, which hatch into larvae. The larvae then feed on mulberry leaves, which provide the necessary nutrients for their cocoons to grow. Silkworms spin their cocoons using a gland, which produces a liquid silk fiber. The fiber hardens on contact with air, forming a continuous thread. The pods are collected and usually boiled or steamed, a process that kills the silkworms and relaxes the silk fibers. The next step is to unravel the silk fibers from the cocoons. The threads are then cleaned and turned into thread, which can be used to weave cloth.

- The special song of the bird Montezuma Oropendola The exotic bird Montezuma Oropendola is endemic to eastern Mexico, in Belize, in northern Guatemala, in Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and northwestern Panama. It inhabits mainly the marginal parts of the tropical forests, where it weaves hanging nests of banana fibers on tall trees. It has a very characteristic chirping, where it sounds like it has two voices at the same time.

- Carbon fiber durability test Carbon fiber has incredible durability, 10 times larger than steel, but only if they are stretched without bending. Here someone tries to break a bundle of carbon fiber by stretching it with his hands, but the fiber resists and does not break. But when he ties it in a knot, the fiber breaks immediately.
