Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), the researchers found that at these sites, known as "puffs", the nanofibrils that comprise the silk are no longer aligned but point in random directions.
-
But when the web is in a damp, foggy atmosphere, these nanofibrils shrink, causing the bumpy silk fibres to smooth out.

Two main fibres support a series of separate rounded 'puffs', each made up of tiny, randomly intertwined nanofibrils.
-
Thinner connecting stretches of nanofibrils, separating the knots, become more apparent; these areas are called 'joints'.
