Professor Markus Buehler, graduate student Isabelle Su, Research Scientist Dr. Zhao Qin and collaborators developed an innovative experimental method that captures the sophisticated architecture of three-dimensional spider webs. Their image analysis and 3D models of the web, demonstrated for the spider Cyrtophora citricola in their study, can help with the understanding of the structure and behavior of 3D webs, and enable the design of innovative web-inspired structures. Read more here.
