No, it isn't spider silk, kevlar, or carbon molecules. It's actually teeth.

They're saying it is replicable, and has applications in aerospace among others.

Cool stuff and an interesting discovery. However, wake me up when they actually start building artificial "goethite" structures. They have been making great claims about spider silk for decades and I have yet to see anything built out of artificial spider silk. Call me jaded I guess when it comes to scientific "break throughs" in the media.

Does this mean getting parts will be even more like "pulling teeth"?
