Stripping down science, the naked scientists.

The Naked Scientists. Steel is everywhere as one of the most versatile metals we use it in everything from

bridges and buildings to bicycles and bracelets, but how can we make it even better?

I'm Ben Valsler.

It's Sunday the 8th of July

and today we'll hear the story of Super Bayhight,

a super strong steel.

We'll hear how this new wonder material is great for a range of properties including the

bearings in wind turbines and solving the age-old problem of making good armor.

The other thing I was found quite intimidating about armor is you're up against Leonardo da Vinci

because he invented a bullet and in terms of opposition a da Vinci design is not easy to

defeat you'd be dead five hundred years and still cause in trouble. That's all coming up along with news of a new

nanotechnological way to bust blood clots and of course a look at the Higgs bosom.

and centuries of trial and trial and error bucket chemistry has given us a wide range of steel

alloys that are capable of performing almost every task that we set. So it might

surprise you to hear that steel can still surprise us with previously unthought of properties.

Here to tell us more about a new variety of steel, super strong super bay night,

is Professor Harry Bedicia who invented Super Bay Night at Cambridge University.
