Spiders and Ants – Unsinkable Metal
Inventing unsinkable ships seems nearly impossible, but thanks to small bugs we seem to get really close to, humans accomplished this task. Scientists from the University of Rochester studied unique spiders and ants that manage to float on water in any conditions.
They found out that these bugs have pockets of air bubbles that trapped within a self-made underwater dome, which gave them the ability to float on water without sinking. Using this idea, engineers managed to replicate this ability and made ships with a smaller risk of sinking.
