10 Strongest Materials Known To Man

Quote:
Have you ever heard of Buckypaper? It is one of the strongest materials known to man. This carbon nanotechnology material is 500 times stronger than steel and ten times lighter. Believe it or not, Spider’s silk is also on this list. And one is from outer space. Are you familiar with any of them?

    Didn't know that a paper could be that strong. Why isn't it being used in reinforcement for tanks or planes already?

    Well paper tools have been used for metal forming dies. You may be right. We may yet fly in a paper plane!
