Wonder Element Boron Will Withstand Pressure
Borax from kitchens is used by the Space Program to supply boron for a tough light weight fiber. Boron fibers four one-thousandths of an inch thick show tensile strength of 400000 to 500000 psi and could lift heavy jets or enable skyscrapers far taller than the Empire State Building. The US seeks many uses from submarine hulls to rotor blades as boron is isolated in Death Valley and widely employed in industry.
