Nexia and the US Army have developed and are setting up production for the first artificial fiber comparable to the real deal. They take advantage of "proprietary transgenic goat technology" to produce fibers with various qualities.
They mention uses for bio-degradable fishing line, medical devices, soft body armor. I was hoping for something a little cooler like 5 lb car frames or space elevator cables, but we'll see. Mainly I wanted to post this to include the goat technology quote, which I found hilarous.
