Core tip: in the early morning mist cleared, often with dew drops on spider web. Affected by this phenomenon inspired by Chinese researchers in the latest issue of the British" natural" report on the magazine says, they invented a new type of synthetic fiber, like spider silk as the air moisture adsorption to the surface.

Chinese Academy of Sciences and institutions such as Beihang University researchers report that, they make use of optical microscope and electron microscope to spider web was observed, the result was found to be condensed dew of spider silk has unique structure: in consists of two fiber forming" main stem" distribution of the number of the nanometer fiber composed of tiny bulge mallet, when the moisture in the air condenses to spider silk surface, in the tiny bulge coalesce to form larger drops.

The researchers say, modelled on spider silk of this unique structure, they use nylon fiber materials to create a similar" water spider silk". Experiments show that this new material, placed in the mist, the moisture in the air in the material surface condenses into drops of water. Researchers believe that this new material, which is expected to be used for obtaining water from air, as well as industrial filtration and other uses.
