  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

  12. Renowned futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts that humans may soon live to be 1,000 years old through the use of advanced nanotechnology.

    In his new book, The Singularity is Nearer, Kurzweil suggests that medical nanorobots could cure aging by repairing cellular damage and maintaining organ function.
