Say hello to the toughest alloy on earth : vimarsana.com

Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile — which, in materials science, means highly malleable — and impressively strong, its strength and ductility improve as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in existence.
