Scientists have begun combining bee silk with hagfish protein to create a new super material that has potential applications in stopping missiles, which is being closely studied by the U.S. military. As global plastic pollution increases, researchers are accelerating their search for eco-friendly, durable, lightweight, and fully biodegradable alternatives. While spider silk has long been recognized for its strength, attention is now turning to another lesser-known natural resource: bee silk.
