TLDR

Engineers have developed a superhydrophobic metal inspired by the diving bell spider, creating a material that could lead to the development of an unsinkable ship. This material, detailed in a study published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, maintains buoyancy even when severely damaged, making it potentially useful for large loads or green energy technologies.
