💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Asa Barber’s team at the University of #Portsmouth found that common #limpet #teeth are five times stronger than #spider #silk, making them the strongest known natural material.

Their goethite nanofiber #protein composite can withstand pressures comparable to turning #carbon into #diamond and could inspire synthetic materials.

Using precisely #engineered structures assembled from nano-size materials to deliver potent tumor-fighting medicine to the #brain through #nasal drops. The novel delivery method is less invasive than similar treatments in development and was shown in mice to effectively treat #glioblastoma by boosting the brain’s immune response.

Zavaleta said that to achieve a successful #resection, the #surgeon must cut the #cancerous tissue while keeping it encapsulated in an unbroken layer of regular healthy tissue. If that encapsulation is incomplete or broken, it could mean that parts of the #tumor remain inside the patient.

MIT #engineers have designed a new #nanoparticle #sensor that could enable early diagnosis of #cancer with a simple #urine test. The sensors, which can detect many different #cancerous #proteins, could also be used to distinguish the type of a #tumor or how it is responding to treatment.

Scientists have measured the highest #toughness ever recorded, of any #material, while investigating a #metallic #alloy made of #chromium, #cobalt, and #nickel (#CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile – which, in materials science, means highly malleable – and impressively strong.
