Spunglass, formfitting, waterproof, flameproof.

So now we not only have a high fiber bread, but now fiber on top of fiber.

Textile News has a large following among those working in the textile industry.

And I decided to build it up.

Do you mind if I pull out one of your fibers?

And I looked at it beneath the microscope. And some of it was flat.

No fibers, flakes, hairs?

The 350pound test monofilament.

You saw the spray going in.

There's Kevlar in that chair.

They produce six different types of silk, which is spun together into a fiber, tougher than any fiber humans have ever made.

We're starting to see these happening all around the world.

And this is what we see.

It's a model skeleton that I made out of a piece of cloth that I wrapped around an inflated balloon.

Dust consists of dead skin cells from humans, soil particles, and fibers from clothes made from cotton and other materials.

Dietary fibre is good for losing weight.

Spin me a thread.

Specifically, if you look on the vertical axis, that's stress.

You need to eat more fiber.

(Laughter)

It's called memory cloth. Notice anything?

We're going to take some of that, and put it into the bread.

The nearest we've come is with aramid fiber.

We were left with 38 chemicals.

And Charlton Heston is made of a floating fiber, which I took out of the air.

We are developing spider silk.

Uh, no, actually. Ssa halko's retiring.

Deep inside any of these particles, there is something else.

But what seems so slow and graceful from the outside is really more like chaos inside, because cells control their shape with a skeleton of rigid protein fibers, and those fibers are constantly falling apart.

And one of the white foremen stepped forward and said,

Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate found in plants that our body cannot break down.

But today, ultralight, ultrastrong materials,

Why was everyone surprised at this?

They're monkeys

And so in the reverse engineering process that we know about, and that we're familiar with, for the textile industry, the textile industry goes and unwinds the cocoon and then weaves glamorous things.

To artificially produce spider silk with the help of genetically modified microbes and weave it as synthetic fiber, is our idea.

(Laughter) (Applause)

So I got the teddy bear and I said,

It looks like earthworms.

Its preference is to travel along the nerve lines.

Here are stress strain curves generated by tensile testing five fibers made by the same spider.

Now I'm going to mark on the toughness values for nylon fiber, bombyx or domesticated silkworm silk wool, Kevlar, and carbon fibers.

Then I used fibers out of my jumper, which I held and stretched.

And now I was looking at one.
