Secrets of Australian Basket-Web spider’s silk
The Australian crab spider Saccodomus formivorus is the only spider known to weave a unique basket-like web; however, the key to its remarkable design and robust structure is unknown.
X-ray absorption spectroscopy
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a versatile tool for chemistry, biology, and materials science. By probing how x rays are absorbed from core electrons of atoms in a sample, the technique can reveal the local structure around selected atoms.
