Scientists at the University of Portsmouth believe they may have found the strongest natural material known to man, one that could be copied to make the cars, boats and planes of the future - the teeth of the humble limpet.
Researchers examined the mechanics of limpet teeth by pulling them apart all the way down to the level of the atom. They found that the teeth of the snail-like creatures are potentially stronger than what was previously thought to be the strongest biological material, the silk of a spider.
