If a material contains many delocalized bonds it is likely to be soft. [10] Somewhat related to hardness is another mechanical property fracture toughness, which is a material's ability to resist breakage from forceful impact (note that this concept is distinct from the notion of toughness). A superhard material is not necessarily "supertough".
Graphene is the strongest material ever tested, [7] [8] with an intrinsic tensile strength of 130 GPa (19,000,000 psi) (with representative engineering tensile strength ~50-60 GPa for stretching large-area freestanding graphene) and a Young's modulus (stiffness) close to 1 TPa (150,000,000 psi).

Limpet teeth have beaten out the previous record-holder for the strongest biological material found in nature: spider silk. Researchers found the limpets' teeth contain goethite, which is a hard ...
Fluoroantimonic acid is the strongest superacid based on the measured value of its Hammett acidity function (H 0), which has been determined for various ratios of HF:SbF 5. The H 0 of HF is −15. [5] A solution of HF containing 1 mol % of SbF 5 is −20. The H 0 is −21 for 10 mol%. For > 50 mol % SbF 5, the H 0 is between −21 and −23.
The UK has a new target for greenhouse gas emissions. The prime minister wants them to be 81% lower by 2035 than they were in the 1990s.While much of the climate change discussion focuses on ...
If it exists, nuclear pasta would be the strongest material in the universe. [1] Between the surface of a neutron star and the quark–gluon plasma at the core, at matter densities of 10 14 g/cm 3, nuclear attraction and Coulomb repulsion forces are of comparable magnitude.
