Tufts University's Silklab has developed sticky fibers inspired by spider silk.
The fibers are made from silk moth cocoon proteins called fibroin, which are extruded through narrow needles.

The real-life Spider -Man web can pick up objects over 80 times its own weight from a distance of about 12 centimeters .
