A new composite material called "Proteus" has been discovered that is only 15% as dense as steel but is much tougher and is extremely difficult to cut or drill through and could find applications in things like body armor, locks and bank vaults. The Researchers got the idea from examining the shell of the abalone which is also a composite material and thanks to its particular construction is 3000 times more break resistant than the sum of its parts.
