"...scientists led by Nicola Pugno at Italy's University of Trento have succeeded in combining spider silk with grapheme and carbon nanotubes, producing a composite material five times stronger.

Remarkably, the composite is produced by the spider itself, after first drinking water containing the nanotubes."
