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.

When shot into the air, they solidify, allowing the researchers to pull on objects.

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