Innovators are taking cues from nature to develop 3D photodetectors for biomedical imaging. The researchers used some architectural features from spider webs to develop the technology.

Spiders are master builders, expertly weaving strands of silk into intricate 3D webs. If humans could enter the spider's world, they could learn about web construction, arachnid behavior and more ...

Some spiders make fanciful additions to their webs. While theories abound, scientists remain stumped by the creations.

Male fireflies that were trapped in the webs of orb-weaving spiders were found to switch their flashing patterns to look like those emitted by females, bringing all the boys to the yard.

The house of the future could be built from plastic and look like a spider's web, if one group of conceptual architects have their way. London-based architecture collective Softkill Design have ...

Spiders build symmetrical webs for more than just beauty—they’re an incredible survival tool. Discover the science and geometry behind these intricate structures and how they help spiders ...

Discover how the changing climate is weaving new patterns into the lives of our eight-legged friends! 🌍🕷️ From web design to survival tactics, nature is always adapting. Join us to explore ...

Other spiders can change the size or shape of their webs, but the black widows go a step further, in a way that makes them unique. They change the entire architecture of the web, adding and ...

The Purdue technology uses the structural architecture of a spider web that exhibits a repeating pattern. This work is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF; CMMI-1928784) and the Air ...
