7、atural silk, as we all know, has a strength that manmade materials have long struggled to match. In a discovery that sounds more like an ancient Chinese proverb than a materials science breakthrough, MIT researchers have discovered that silk gets its strength from its weakness. Or, more specifically
8、, its many weaknesses. Silk gets its extraordinary durability and ductility from an unusual arrangement of hydrogen bonds that are inherently very weak but that work together to create a strong, flexible structure.Most materials - especially the ones we engineer for strength - get their toughness fr
9、om brittleness. As such, natural silks like those produced by spiders have long fascinated both biologists and engineers because of their light weight, ductility and high strength (pound for pound, silk is stronger than steel and far less brittle). But on its face, it doesnt seem that silks should b
10、e as strong as they are; molecularly, they are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are far weaker than the covalent bonds found in other molecules.To get a better understanding of how silk manages to produce such strength through such weak bonds, the MIT team created a set of computer models that
11、 allowed them to observe the way silk behaves at the atomic level. They found that the arrangement of the tiny silk nanocrystals is such that the hydrogen bonds are able to work cooperatively, reinforcing one another against external forces and failing slowly when they do fail, so as not so allow a
12、sudden fracture to spread across a silk structure.The result is natural silks that can stretch and bend while retaining a high degree of strength. But while thats all well and good for spiders, bees and the like, this understanding of silk geometry could lead to new materials that are stronger and m
13、ore ductile than those we can currently manufacture. Our best and strongest materials are generally expensive and difficult to produce (requiring high temperature treatments or energy-intensive processes).By looking to silk as a model, researchers could potentially devise new manufacturing methods t
14、hat rely on inexpensive materials and weak bonds to create less rigid, more forgiving materials that are nonetheless stronger than anything currently on offer. And if you thought you were going to get out of this materials science story without hearing about carbon nanotubes, think again. The MIT te
15、am is already in the lab looking into ways of synthesizing silk-like structures out of materials that are stronger than natural silk - like carbon nanotubes. Super-silks are on the horizon.参考译文：我们都知道，蚕丝具有的韧性是人造织物长期奋力追求的目标。在一项研究中(该项研究成果听起来更像一则古代中国谚语，而不是材料科学的突破)，麻省理工学院的研究人员发现，蚕丝的力量源于其脆弱，或者，更具体地说，是它的多方面的脆弱。蚕丝的异常耐久性和延展性来自一种特别的氢键结构，这些氢键本质上非常脆弱，但它们共同创造了一种强壮而富有弹性的结构。大多数材料(特别是那些要求硬度很高的材料)的韧性来自脆性。因此，和蜘蛛制造的蛛丝类似的蚕丝，因其重量轻，延展性强和韧性高，长期以来引起了生物学家和工程
