“One of the things we can do with this instrument with this approach is we can, for the first time, begin to feel a little bit like a spider or experience the world like the spider does.”.

“Unlike a protein, where we have to follow the laws of quantum mechanics, a spider web follows Newtonian mechanics,” Buehler said.

They made their scans over the course of the web’s construction, shedding light on how the vibrations the spider senses take on different tones and timbres over time.

Otherwise, Buehler said, the sound would be cacophonous to the human ear.

The longer-term aspiration is to be able to communicate with a spider on a web, Buehler said.
