Spider silk conducts heat better than other organic materials

I found this really interesting so decided to post it here. However, I am not sure if there would be much practical use for the information as it is decidedly difficult to farm spiders for their silk (they like to eat one another, doanchano). Still, something like this might trigger someone else to think of something no one else has thought of that might lead to something with huge societal payoff. Of course, there isn’t any real need for pure science to have a societal payoff, contrary to the insistence of so many politicians.
This is why I let spiders build in my computer case. 😉
