**In collaboration with Fritz Vollrath from the University of Oxford, [[:public:team|our team]] has revealed that fibers of recluse spider silk have highly unusual structure and properties. On the one hand, this provides a key to unraveling the secrets of the molecular structure of silk. On the other hand, this will most likely lead to novel medical and engineering applications for silks. **
