Now I'm going to mark on the toughness values for nylon fiber, bombyx or domesticated silkworm silk wool, Kevlar, and carbon fibers.

So silk fibers vary in their strength and also their extensibility.

They produce six different types of silk, which is spun together into a fiber, tougher than any fiber humans have ever made.

Each of these silk fibers exits from the spigot, and if you were to trace the fiber back into the spider, what you would find is that each spigot connects to its own individual silk gland. A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

You can see multiple fibers coming out of the spinnerets, because each spinneret has many spigots on it.

When you look at this orb web, you're actually seeing many types of silk fibers.

The frame and radii of this web is made up of one type of silk, while the capture spiral is a composite of two different silks the filament and the sticky droplet.

The mushrooms then are harvested, but very importantly, the mycelium has converted the cellulose into fungal sugars.

In fact, this flagelliform fiber can actually stretch over twice its original length.

So now we not only have a high fiber bread, but now fiber on top of fiber.

So they're spinning these tiny nano fibers of pure cellulose.

Specifically, if you look on the vertical axis, that's stress. If you look at the maximum stress value for each of these fibers, you can see that there's a lot of variation, and in fact dragline, or major ampullate silk, is the strongest of these fibers.

And they're sticking together, forming layers and giving us a sheet on the surface.

What silk biologists do is we try to relate these sequences, these amino acid sequences, to the mechanical properties of the silk fibers.

On the other hand, if you were to look at strain this is how much a fiber can be extended if you look at the maximum value here, again, there's a lot of variation and the clear winner is flagelliform, or the capture spiral filament.

Generating ethanol from cellulose using mycelium as an intermediary and you gain all the benefits that I've described to you already.

So there's versatility, as you see, in the material formats, that you can do with silk.

Then I used fibers out of my jumper, which I held and stretched.

Over time, these tiny threads form in the liquid into layers and produce a mat on the surface.

It might have caused a clot which became organised and fibrotic.

No. But it could be a fibroma.

At this point, it's really heavy.

And Charlton Heston is made of a floating fiber, which I took out of the air.

And the actual roof is made up of a fiber, which I found in my sister's old teddy bear.

You've got bran, which is probably the healthiest part of the bread for us, or the fiber for us because it is just loaded with fiber, for the bran is fiber.

And it is all out of carbon fiber.

Longstaple Egyptian. And 5 rice paper.

This object is completely covered by fiber opticals.

So I spread it out onto a wooden sheet.

So this makes quantifying silk properties by methods such as tensile testing, which is basically, you know, tugging on one end of the fiber, very amenable.

And these four types of information your optic nerve has about a million fibers in it, and 900,000 of those fibers send these four types of information.

Subjects of the investigations were none ablative materials (fibre reinforced ceramics), ablative materials, flexible (FEI) and multilayer insolations (MLI) as well as carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) plates and sandwich panels.
