Our muscles are amazing structures. With the trigger of a thought, filaments slide past each other
and bundles of contracting fibers pull on the bones moving our bodies. The triggered stretching
behavior of muscle is inherently based in geometry, characterized by a decrease in length and
increase in volume (or vice versa) in response to a change in the local environment, such as
humidity or heat.
a) humidity and heat
b) environment
c) geometry
d) muscles
Variations of dynamic geometry appear elsewhere in nature, exhibiting a variety of mechanisms and
structures and inspiring development in artificial muscle technology. Spider silk, specifically
Ornithoctonus Huwena spider silk, now offers the newest such inspiration thanks to research from a
collaboration of scientists in China and the U.S.
a) Inspiration for artificial muscles
b) Dynamic geometry
c) Spider silk
d) China and the U.S.
“Spider silk is a natural biological material with high sensitivity to water which inspires us to study
the interaction between spider silk and water.” said Hongwei Zhu, a professor of Material Science
and Engineering in Beijing and part of the collaboration. “Ornithoctonus Huwena spider is a unique
species as it can be bred artificially and it spins silk of nanoscale diameter.”
