This Material Is So Hard That It Cannot Be Cut – Ubergizmo

Diamonds are largely considered to be one of the hardest, naturally occurring materials on Earth, although with the right tools, you could actually cut or fracture a diamond. However, researchers from Durham University and the Fraunhofer Institute have created a new synthetic material that is so hard that it cannot be cut.
The material, dubbed Proteus, is so hard that in the video above, you can actually see it destroy tools made out of metal that attempt to cut it. How Proteus became such a h…
