00:00Tiny life parts loft at concentrated sulfuric acid.
00:04Impossible, right?
00:06But some peptides don't just survive.
00:08They get stronger.
00:10It's wild.
00:12But some peptides don't just survive.
00:14They get stronger.
00:16It's wild.
00:17The acid itself forces these tiny chains to fold into super tight protective armor.
00:24The acid creates the shield.
00:25The extraordinary resilience of these peptides in concentrated sulfuric acid
00:30has significant implications for astrobiology and novel material design.
00:36Link in bio.
