Iron Man-inspired material made from DNA and glass is 5x stronger than steel — and 4x lighter::Regular glass is brittle and fragile. But pure glass coated on DNA is a different beast entirely.

    It’s like all the cancer cures you hear about that unfortunstely mostly don’t pan out.

    That one is worse than you think. More than one viable cancer cure was destroyed by stock market shenanigans - bad actors short sell the company in to the ground, take over the board, destroy what’s left of the company, sell off what they can piecemeal while trashing the rest, and they do it that way only because they don’t have to pay back those shorted stocks with no company anymore, they don’t at all care what the company is doing only that they can parasitize it. It’s twisted as hell.

        I had it linked in my reddit account which I wiped clean months ago… if I have time I’ll search the account dump for it though.

        They want instant gratification and lack all empathy towards others. They’re sociopaths.

        Cures are worthless compared to lifetime treatment regiments. That’s putting aside the other facts like how widely varied cancers can be making a singular “cure” infeasible.

          This is ridiculous. “Company name cures cancer” would be the greatest advertising for any company ever. Cancer will still happen and the cure will always be needed. It would be wildly profitable.
