The Damascus NanoForge: How Ancient Smiths Accidentally Created Nanotechnology | E76

For centuries, the secret to Damascus steel was thought to be lost magic. Crusaders told legends of its ability to cut through lesser swords or split a silk scarf in mid-air. But the truth, hidden for 1,000 years, is far more incredible.

Modern science, using scanning electron microscopes, has "re-opened the case." The investigation reveals that the legendary blades, forged from Indian "Wootz" steel, are an example of accidental nanotechnology. Inside the steel's iconic wave pattern, researchers discovered cementite nanowires and carbon nanotubes—one of the strongest materials on Earth.

This is the story of the Damascus NanoForge: a tale of master craftsmen who, without knowing it, became the world's first nano-engineers... and why their incredible technology vanished from the Earth around 1800.
