World’s strongest hydroelectric project?

[ad_1] The Three Gorges Dam in China is the world’s most powerful hydroelectric project, generating up to 22.5 gigawatts and supplying over 10% of China’s hydroelectric power. However, concerns have been raised about its environmental impact and displacement of over 1.2 million people. The most powerful hydroelectric project in the world is the Three Gorges […]

What’s the strongest material?

[ad_1] Carbon nanotube fiber has the highest tensile strength and stiffness of any material, with multi-walled carbon nanotubes measuring 63 GPa. Bulk carbon nanotube fiber has a tensile strength of 1.6 GPa, making it the strongest fiber. The US Navy is interested in using it for ropes and ROVs, while it could also improve bridge […]

Strongest material known?

[ad_1] Aggregated diamond nanotubes (ADNR) are the hardest and least compressible material known, with a mass modulus of 491 GPa. They were first synthesized in 2005 and consist of highly compressed and interconnected carbon nanotubes. ADNR can scratch both diamond and ultrahard fullerite, and are denser than diamond. They have potential to replace diamonds as […]
