One canadian company may have found a solution to making artificial spider web. In 2002, they announced that they had used genetically modified goats to produce milk that contains the chemicals used to make spider web. The company which is funded by the U.S. army, hope that in the long run it will be able to make large quantities of very light, very strong fiber for military and medical uses. Additionally, because the manufacture of the artificial web is based on goat's milk and water, the industry potentially would be non-pollutting and environmentally friendly.
