Any sufficiently large pile of treasure metastasizes into a dragon: a beast with lungs of molten gold, maintaining high temperatures so as to maximize the ductility of its metal body

‘Silver thread and golden needles’ is a terrible material choice, clearly you want silver as your needles for rigidity and gold thread for ductility.
You cant mend your broken heart because you suck at industrial design, Wanda.

what's that? your conductivity is "good"? you're shiny and lustrous? cute. how's your ductility

We are exploiting nuances of the relatively simple thermodynamics and chemical kinetics of what I've described here to make cheap steels that are 2 to 4 times stronger/tougher than the steel used in the Empire State or the Golden Gate. We're escaping the so-called "strength-ductility tradeoff" too.

Gavin Newsom, the Slippin' Jimmy McGill of governors - we all know he's a oil-slick, chameleonic opportunist... but, sometimes you really need an advocate of exactly Saul Goodman's caliber & moral... ductility... on your legal team.
Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

By tuning carbon content (+cooling rate, alloy elements, etc), we can control the pearlite layer spacing, which controls strength and ductility. A carefully processed very fine pearlitic wire holds the record for strongest engineering alloy: about 7 gigapascal, 250% of the next strongest contender.

Holy crap. If true this is huge.
I didn't see any mention of ductility or stress/shear strength though. That's important.

Completely unrelated random clip from Wikipedia:
Gallium forms alloys with most metals. It readily diffuses into cracks or grain boundaries of some metals such as aluminium, aluminium–zinc alloys and steel, causing extreme loss of strength and ductility called liquid metal embrittlement.

The chain link of ductility
A newly developed aluminum alloy composition significantly increases as-built ductility in additive manufacturing, supporting lighter, more efficient components for automotive and aerospace applications. doi.org/g92kmm
A path to higher as-built ductility in printable aluminum alloys
Most aluminum alloys made through additive manufacturing (AM) have very limited as-built ductility, which may lead to the adoption of more expensive, heavier alternative materials in applications such as automotive and aerospace parts.
