Listen to music made by spiderwebs
Music made by spiderwebs
Researchers have created
3D models of spiderwebs
to listen for spider signals
They then recreate the sounds
with the help of computers and algorithms
(SOUNDBITE) (English) MARKUS BUEHLER, Ph.D., MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SAYING:
"The melodies are really the kind of relationships that the spider would also experience. And so we can begin to feel a little bit like a spider in that way."
Silk from a spiderweb is five times
stronger than steel
The world of spiders is not audible
to the human ear
But artificial intelligence helps
solve some of the mystery
This could lead to innovations
in construction and repair
Scientists hope to one day communicate with spiders
