Ep 34 - Your Teeth Hold the Secret to Super-Metals
from The Deep Dive Lab: Unraveling Materials Science · host Son Hoang
Your teeth may hold the secret to the toughest, lightest, and most corrosion-resistant metals. By mimicking enamel, scientists built a nanorod ceramic coating that not only strengthens metals but also makes them nearly immune to saltwater corrosion. Titanium, zinc, copper, and zirconium—all transformed into super-materials without added weight.
