Science News Now: Spider silk breakthrough, rare comet & coffee’s brain boost
Description
February 17, 2026
New research is revealing the molecular “secret sauce” behind spider silk’s incredible strength and flexibility, while newly discovered comet C/2026 A1 could become one of the brightest objects in the night sky this spring. We also look at a major study linking moderate coffee consumption to a lower risk of dementia. Walter Stoddard, Senior Scientist at the Ontario Science Centre, joins Miranda Anthistle to break down what these findings could mean for future materials, space watchers, and healthy aging.
