In fact, scientists have been experimenting with spider silk to create ultra-light, bulletproof armor.Spider silk’s toughness comes from its unique protein structure, which makes it incredibly stretchy and durable. It’s strong enough to stop bullets, yet light enough to wear comfortably. While mass production is tricky—since spiders aren’t great team players—biotech companies are using genetically modified bacteria to spin synthetic silk.
