Fig. 3

(A) Torsional actuation of N. pilipes spider dragline silk (121 mm in length, 3.1 ± 0.1 μm in diameter). (B) Rotation speed (blue line) and angular acceleration (red line) of the torsional actuation of N. pilipes spider dragline silk. (C) Torsional actuation of A. versicolor spider dragline silk (87.9 mm in length, 6.7 ± 0.1 μm in diameter). (D) The rotation speed (blue line) and angular acceleration (red line) of A. versicolor spider dragline silk. Inset shows the SEM images of representative silks.
