Dutch researchers have managed to made - with the help of goat milk proteins similar to spider web - a material ten times stronger than steel. This could be combined with human skin, and would thus become strong enough to stop a bullet, writes Tuesday.

According to the Daily Mail, Forensic Genomics Consortium researchers from the Netherlands were more genetically modified goats to get a type of milk rich in those proteins that provide resistance to spider webs. Milk is then transformed by means of a novel, in a material ten times stronger than steel.
The material can then be combined with human skin to get, according to the researchers, a skin strong enough to stop a bullet.
Research team's objective is to replace the keratin - the protein that gives skin strength - of human skin with spider web proteins.
The first step is to increase a real layer of skin around a piece of leather armor, phase which takes about five weeks.
Dutch researchers say the project - which turn into reality something that exists only in science fiction - seems promising, although test results were not perfect.
"It is possible, by adding in the human genome the genes with which produce spider threads its canvas", say Dutch scientists.
The most famous examples of skin bulletproof franchises appear in "Superman" and "Man of Steel / Man of Steel"
