Scientists have developed a supermaterial by combining the structure of DNA with the purity of glass, resulting in a material that is five times lighter and four times stronger than steel. The material, created by researchers from the University of Connecticut, Columbia University, and Brookhaven National Lab, achieves an unprecedented balance between strength and lightness. By using DNA as a scaffold and applying a glass coating, the researchers were able to create a robust and lightweight material with potential applications in various industries, including the development of improved armor. Further research is needed to explore the full potential of this technology.
