Super strong jaws

A sea worm with a stronger jaw than teeth is suggesting to scientists about a super-durable material in the future.

Too familiar that scientists often learn nature to create durable materials. Diamond powders, for example, are used for oil drills and road construction equipment, and soon spider silk will be used to create bulletproof vests.

Recently, scientists have turned their attention to deep-sea canine-like jaws - an orientation that they believe will lead to the creation of new, light, strong, light-able materials. , will be used in construction and repair materials for spacecraft and aircraft.

Known as deep sand or ragworm, living in the North Atlantic Ocean, this tiny creature has longer and stronger jaws than human teeth and synthetic resins. Scientists from California and New Hampshire are working on their study, although they have not yet fully investigated the chemical composition of the deep jaw structure, but they have found a unique form of protein after analyzing about 1,000 children. Initial work shows that in nature, there are always new things that have not been discovered.
