Weaving our way towards a new generation of fibre-optic chemical sensors based on spider silk
From the spider's perspective, silk is not only a building material but also a safety net, a weapon and a sensory organ to detect the presence of preys on its web. Indeed, this primeval material has been shaped over hundreds of millions of years by spiders to create a myriad of silk fibre types...
