Abstract: Abstract Geometric regularity of spider webs has been intensively studied in orb‐weaving spiders, although it is not exclusive of orb weavers. Here, we document the geometrically regular, repetitive elements in the webs of the non‐orb‐weaving… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/scirobotics.aaz5405
Abstract: Ionic spiderwebs emulate the capturing strategies of a spider with a single pair of threads based on electrostatics. Spiders use adhesive, stretchable, and translucent webs to capture their prey. However, sustaining the capturing capability of… read more here.
