Startup makes ₹20,000 tie made of manmade spiderwebs
Materials science startup Bolt Threads has unveiled its first product, a ₹20,000 tie made of artificially created spiderwebs. The startup uses genetically modified yeast, water, and sugar to create the spider silk, which is claimed to be stronger than steel and softer than wool. Bolt Threads says it has created over 2,000 different materials through a similar process.
