Crossing it on foot is nearly impossible; crossing it with wheeled vehicles is suicide. The domestication of the dromedary camel (single-humped, adapted to extreme arid heat) transformed the Sahara from an impassable barrier into a navigable corridor. From [Wikipedia]: The one-humped dromedary makes up 94% of th...

Click on PDF to download from Part 3 2023: Researchers reported a production method for spider silk fibers from gene-edited transgenic silkworms for a sustainable alternative material six times stronger than Kevlar. This type of fiber could be utilized as surgical sutures, addressing a global demand exceeding 300 million procedures annually. The spider silk fibers could also be used to create more comfortable garments and innovative types of bulletproof vests, said Mi, and they may have applications in smart materials, the military, aerospace technology, and biomedical engineering. To spin spider silk from silkworms, Mi and his team introduced spider silk protein genes into the DNA of silkworms so that it would be expressed in their glands using a combination of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology and hundreds of thousands of microinjections into fertilized silkworm eggs.
