"Our third line of products, which we refer to as “Gen 3 technical and medical fiber,” is designed to move beyond the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of natural spider silk. Gen 3 fibers are in a relatively early stage of development and will incorporate such elements as antibacterial agents for medical use, and metallic ions for use in industrial processes. "
I'm sure with kims Knowledge he has big plans for future uses of this technology!
"He is also active in the realm of science and invention where he has to his credit a number of provisional patent applications, including innovations in the areas of biotechnology, organic polymers, genetic engineering, spider silk production and magnetic field manipulation, among others."
The potential is astronomical and we will get there in time!
