Nanoglue Could Be Used To Make Spiderman Web-Shooters

Stony Stevenson writes "A team of US researchers is using the super-adhesive properties of nanoglue to create a super-sticky web-shooting device much like the comic-book hero Spiderman's. The nanoglue is also being trialed in the production of computer chip circuitry and is expected to miniaturize the process, meaning faster and more powerful chips. From the article: '"If we can find a way to create threads and/or intertwined bundles using the molecules in a scalable fashion, while retaining the adhesive properties, then creating web-shooters similar to Spiderman's is a real possibility," Ramanath said. "There are ways in which molecular threads/bundles can be created in large quantities. The challenge will be, however, to simultaneously engineer adhesion on certain surfaces (and not others, since we want the suit only to form on the desired surface) and also with each other during the thread formation."'"

    The Niggers would like to say that the only sticky web you need is the 6 gallons of cum that we about to inject into your asshole. We can make da webs out of it but we enjoy raping you with 4 poles in your ass. Big Dog said he will make you a web if he can hit it 6 more times while we rape your wife. Make sure to bring your tears.
