New Opportunities for an Ancient Material
Open accessAbstract
Insight into Silks: Silkworms have been cultivated for thousands of years and their silk has been used to make fabrics for clothing, bed sheets, shirts, dresses, and for other applications like sutures. Spider silk is harder to harvest, and thus has not found such widespread use, but its fantastic combination of properties has made it a tempting material to study in detail. Omenetto and Kaplan (p. 528 ) review our understanding of silk chemistry, the limitations in being able to reconstitute silks and to generate them synthetically, and a range of applications that have been developed using silk materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
