    💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

    💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🛩️🪰 Male #dragonflies engage in aerial dogfights to defend territory, using simple visual rules like fighter pilots.

    Researchers in the #UK used stereoscopic cameras to reconstruct 3D flight paths of the scarlet Trithemis aurora dragonfly. The #insects pull up to 6 Gs and compete for tail chase positioning rather than intercepting like they do with prey.

    Paper by @brembs et al - unfortunately I cannot yet find co-authors or the Royal Society itself on Mastodon! Timely to follow the excellent recommendations & principles articulated here...
