Smashing idea!

Researchers build a DNA structure and coat it with glass, creating a very low density, very strong material

" The DNA skeleton reinforced the thin, flawless coating of glass making the material very strong, and the voids constituting most of the material's volume made it lightweight. As a result, glass nanolattice structures are four times higher strength but five times lower density than steel. This unusual combination of lightweight and high strength has never been achieved before. "

Let us hope this study is not another attempt to discuss fantasies but a business project. No matter how much people laugh at this approach, it can be really profitable. I don't have much experience with it, and in college I used to get help from https://essays.edubirdie.com/business-management-assignment for most of my projects. But something tells me this can be a really successful project with the proper management that will shake up the market. At least, I hope so.
