9 strongest materials that help push the limits of engineering
The article highlights nine of the strongest materials that have significantly advanced engineering and industrial applications due to their exceptional hardness, strength, and durability. It explains key measures of material strength, including tensile strength, compressive strength, yield strength, and impact strength, emphasizing that hardness alone does not equate to toughness. These materials range from natural elements to engineered alloys, each playing a crucial role in various demanding environments. Among the materials discussed, boron stands out with a Mohs hardness of 9.5, notable for its brittleness but valuable in glassmaking, nuclear applications, and ceramics. Tungsten carbide, with a hardness between 9.0 and 9.5, is a man-made compound essential for cutting tools, mining equipment, and wear-resistant coatings, prized for its toughness and near-diamond hardness. Chromium, the hardest pure metal at 8.5 on the Mohs scale, is primarily used to enhance corrosion resistance in stainless steel and for decorative chrome plating. Tungsten itself

Ondas Holdings Inc., a provider of autonomous aerial and ground systems, recently closed an underwritten offering of 46 million common shares, raising approximately $217 million net of expenses. The company plans to use the proceeds to fuel corporate development and strategic growth initiatives, including acquisitions, joint ventures, and investments. This follows a prior $163 million public offering and the acquisition of a majority stake in Israeli electro-optics firm S.P.O. Smart Precision Optics Ltd. Ondas operates through two main units: Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS), which develops commercial drones and ground robots under brands like Airobotics and American Robotics, and Ondas Networks, which offers FullMAX software-defined radio connectivity for industrial applications. OAS markets advanced autonomous systems such as the Optimus System, capable of fully autonomous aerial data capture with self-swapping batteries and payloads for continuous operation in complex environments. It also offers the Iron Drone System, a GPS-independent counter-drone solution designed to protect assets with minimal
