AT A GLANCE
An ancient sea worm may hold the secret to a whole new category of natural materials. Its jaws combine proteins and metal ions in a way that gives them metal-like strength and unusual mechanical behavior, yet they still differ from traditional metals.
Researchers believe these "bio-metals" could open new directions in materials science while revealing just how sophisticated nature's designs can be.
