Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12234303 What Wang and his research team found was that spider silks - particularly the draglines that anchor webs in place - conduct heat better than most materials, including very good conductors such as silicon, aluminum and pure iron. Spider silk also conducts heat 1,000 times better than woven silkworm silk and 800 times better than other organic tissues.............
..........."For organic material, this is the highest ever. There are only a few materials higher - silver and diamond."
Even more surprising, he said, is when spider silk is stretched, thermal conductivity also goes up. Wang said stretching spider silk to its 20 percent limit also increases conductivity by 20 percent. Most materials lose thermal conductivity when they're stretched. Quoting: observationwow amazed feels lovely and makes me smile for reasons i know not at this moment
