Spiders have some of the strongest composite materials in nature, created from a combination of DNA and protein. This material is far stronger than silk produced by silkworms and is even stronger than the man-made material ‘Kevlar’. The strong nature of spider silk makes it useful for a range of applications both in the natural and human world, from the web of a spider to combat armor for the military.
On Monday, the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.93%, but just a small number of stocks made up the majority of the gains. This indicates that market momentum is not very broad, which suggests that investors should be cautious when making decisions. Additionally, with recent economic news out of China and the U.S. being poor, the market remains susceptible to larger swings.
