Synthetic Bacteria Can Produce Muscle Fibers Stronger Than Kevlar

Synthetic Bacteria Can Produce Muscle Fibers Stronger Than Kevlar

Try as we might, the most advanced synthetic materials pale in comparison to super-strong biological compounds like spider silk and muscle fibers. On that second count, researchers may be closer to growing usable amounts of muscle fiber that can be used in place of fabrics like cotton, silk, and even Kevlar. This could lead to clothing made from real muscle. That might sound like an unsettling option, but the fibers aren’t what you’re imagining.
