I just wrote this up myself. The results are remarkable, but the credit seems entirely due to the spiders. Well, not entirely, but the data is so limited! They only got a handful of spiders, from the lab's back yard essentially, and a bunch of them died from nanomaterial exposure, malnutrition, or both after 1 trial! Yet despite the bargain bin trappings, the results are so incredibly cool! The spiders just... incorp…

Past that, the nanotubes just have to get locked into the matrix of the silk in the right orientation... which could just happen to anything of the right dimensionality in the silk as it anneals into shape.
