Stretching spider silk enhances its strength by aligning protein chains and increasing hydrogen bonds, as shown through computational models and laboratory experiments. This process, naturally performed by spiders, results in fibers that are stronger, tougher, and more elastic. These findings could inform the design of engineered silk for applications like biodegradable sutures and body armor, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials.
