[ScienceD] Spider silk coated with carbon nanotubes has multiple surprising uses - Science Daily - 2013-09-15 Spider silk coated with carbon nanotubes has multiple surprising uses Physicists have discovered that simple methods can result in surprising and environmentally friendly high-tech outcomes during their experiments with spider silk and carbon nanotubes. Spider silk coated with nanotubes can act as a humidity sensor, a strain sensor, an actuator (a device that acts as an artificial muscle, for lifting weights and more) and as an electrical wire, according to researchers. http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/top_news/top_technology/~3/43D9cfnxec0/130913185845.htm
