It is a new silk material developed its as soft silk its produced in Utah it is organic and maybe used in cosmetics called the next silicone, It has been spun into thread in Korea, then woven into layers of fabric in Germany. Dutch researcher Jalila Essaidi said the 'spider silk' project was called '2.6g 329m/s' after the weight and the velocity of a .22 calibre long rifle bullet. Working with the Forensic Geno mics Consortium in the Netherlands, she said the goal was to replace the keratin in our skin with the spider’s silk. The last stage involves growing a layer of real skin around a sample of the bulletproof skin, which takes about five weeks. This could replace artificial grafting Essaidi said that the project was about making science fiction a reality. She said that silk has a long history of being used in combat - Genghis Khan once issued all his horsemen with silk vests as an arrow hitting silk does not break, meaning you can tease out arrowheads.‘Imagine a spider silk vest, capable of catching bullets, the modern day equivalent of Genghis Khan’s arrows,’ she said.‘Now, let’s take this one step further, "why bother with a vest: imagine replacing keratin, the protein responsible for the toughness of the human skin", with this spider silk protein!
This substance can stop a bullet Silk produced by goats, genetically altered to produce 'milk' made of webs Human skin can stop a bullet this with a little help from genetically modified goats. The skin is mixed with goat 'milk' from goats 'tweaked' to produce the same protein found in spider silk. Woven spider silk is four times stronger than Kevlar, the material used in bulletproof vests.The 'silk' is layered with bio-engineered human skin grown in laboratory, and can withstand a direct impact from a bullet - although not one fired at full speed, yet. 'In the first clip, the bio-engineered skin cushions a bullet fired at half speed. But its resistance has its limits: The bio-engineered skin can stop a bullet travelling at half speed - but rounds travelling at full speed still pass straight through a little.
This new type second skin reinforced with spider silk - four times stronger than Kevlar could make for safety records when shot at a full speed of 329 m/s, the bullet pierces the material and travels through it,' says New Scientist.Dutch researcher Jalila Essaidi said the 'spider silk' project was called '2.6g 329m/s' after the weight and the velocity of a .22 calibre long rifle bullet.

The 'skin' is created by weaving spider silk proteins into a cloth four times stronger than Kevlar, then growing human skin around it a new wow in a Gena-enzyme lab This is possible by adding the silk producing genes of a spider to the gnome of a human: creating a bulletproof human.‘Science-fiction? Maybe, but we can get a feeling of what this trans humanistic idea would be like by letting a bulletproof matrix of spider silk merge with an in virtual human skin. ’Bullet proof vests have been around for decades but skin that can stop them has only been the preserve of science fiction.The most famous example is Superman, or the Man of Steel - bullets simply ricochet off of him. Its a new concept even to sport ware as hard as nails or even a solders body armour with uses in plain old prosthetic body parts.
