Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a technique to produce chemically functionalised spider silk that can be tailored to applications used in drug delivery, regenerative medicine and wound healing.

Meet Eriovixia gryffindori.

A couple spotted this enormous Arachnid in their window, as they were about to sit down for dinner. What happened next...well watch the video and find out if you want. 

Researchers found that despite not having ears--or ear drums--jumping spiders can perceive airborne sound.

Study finds jumping spiders can detect sound at greater distances than previously thought.

Study finds bacteriophage contains genes coding for a toxin found in spider venom.

The spiderlings also grew nearly 20 percent larger, and survived about 50 percent longer, than those whose mothers did not eat their mates.

By recreating fear memories and disrupting them, exposure therapy can be made more effective.
