A study coordinated by the University of Trento has revealed why spiders are capable of cutting very strong and tough materials such as their own silk, carbon or Kevlar®. The discovery could open the way to a new generation of more effective and performing cutting tools

The research project for which Giacomo Moretti has been awarded a Starting Grant will be housed at the Department of Industrial Engineering of Uni Trento. The goal is to explore the potential of electrostatic transducers in extreme conditions, for example in space or on the ocean floor

The University of Trento has participated in an international project where, for the first time, researchers were able to conduct hundreds of experiments to measure the ultimate mechanical properties of this material. They found that even a microscopic defect reduces graphene strength by fifty percent. The study was published in Nature Communications
