This Material Is Nearly Uncuttable

The video discusses the development of a new composite material called Proteus, which is nearly uncuttable. Proteus is made from a mix of aluminum, steel alloy, titanium, and ceramic, and is designed to resist cutting tools like angle grinders. The material's toughness is attributed to its structure, which includes ceramic spheres that create vibrations and small particles that increase friction. Proteus can be customized for various applications, such as bike locks and armored doors, by adjusting its components.

What role do the tiny particles in Proteus play in its resistance to cutting?
