Proteus (Metal)
Proteus is the world's first "non-cuttable" material[1]. It was developed by a team of researchers and engineers from the UK and Germany[2]. Inspired by the molecular structure of grapefruit peels and the hierarchical structure of Abalone shell[3], it is a metal which causes cutting instruments to "turn against themselves"[2]. Essentially, the metal contains an aluminium metallic foam embedded with ceramic spheres. Once a cutting tool strikes these spheres, high frequency vibrations are produced which dulls the blade within minutes.
