The fantasy over Spiderman is over: Fans of the fictional hero are surprised after hearing about the making of a strong spider silk that makes Spiderman swing off from building to building.

Experts found out how to formulate Spiderman's very strong and powerful spider silk. After conducting a series of studies, they have finally discovered the way to make this comic book concept come true.

In weight-for-weight terms, the spider silk which they are planning to create is definitely stronger than real steel. However, researchers weren't able to devise a method to make enough for commercial purposes. They are conducting further studies.

A team of scientists led by Prof. Don Jarvis from the University of Wyoming have conducted genetic experimentation on the silkworm. They have genetically altered the species to spin silk combined with spider protein.

The Proceeding of the National Academy of Science magazine posted their report indicating that they found a few serious problems with producing the spider protein naturally since the arachnids aren't manufacturing enough on their own. Also, they sometimes eat each other.

Scientists further explained that silkworms are easy to grow, and quickly can produce plentiful silk; however, the material isn't strong enough.

Hence, they searched for a method by which they can transport the key spider genes which are responsible for creating extremely strong thread production into the silkworm.

Scientific breakthroughs will certainly result in the discovery of more effective techniques for large-scale production of strong silk.

Apart from making Spiderman's fans happy, the silk is deemed useful in a lot of medical applications like artificial tendons and ligaments and wound dressings.

The silk is also said to have components which can be utilized in manufacturing effective bulletproof vests.
