What could be stronger than diamond ?
A)scientists have discovered a naturally occurring material that could be the strongest mechanically; potentially stronger than diamond. More interestingly, the strongest material forms the teeth of an aquatic creature- the Limpet.
Limpet is a common name applied to aquatic snails with shells broadly conical in shape, rather like the conical Asian hat. The term "limpet" is purely informal, a term of convenience; it refers to any gastropod whose shell has no obvious coiling such as one sees in familiar garden snails or in winkles.
Limpet teeth could be the strongest material known to man. Supposedly, the structure of the material of these teeth could be copied for applications of the future- including the fabrication of various parts of cars, planes and boats of the future.
Until now, it was known that spider silk- the very material used in bulletproof vests, and electronic hardware- is the strongest biologically occurring material. It is now found that Limpet teeth could possess greater strength.
