Question

Do you think there is a stronger metal in on another planet?

Answer 1

Yes, but the nuclei of the elements that are stronger metals have three mesons instead of three of the protons that you'd normally expect would be there.

Answer 2

As an element, no. Another, stronger alloy that we have not discovered... maybe!

Answer 3

A stronger metal than what?

The densest naturally-occuring element (that we know of) is osmium, which is actually quite rare in the universe.

Other planets are not that different from Earth - they are made up of elements just like the Earth is.  Iron, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and other elements exist here and throughout the universe.

No reason (outside of bad science fiction) to assume another planet would have fundamentally different elements from what occurs in the universe.

Answer 4

The planets in our solar system are composed of minerals whose properties are not very remarkable in terms of strength or other engineering qualities.  In fact, with Earth minerals we have to carefully refine them from their natural states in order to make good use of them.  The same would be true of naturally-occurring materials on other planets.

The periodic table of the elements as presently constituted pretty much accounts for all the stable elements we could use as "strong metal."  So it's unlikely anything we haven't seen yet will appear and be stable and useful.  But the universe always has a way of surprising us, so we had better keep an open and inquisitive mind.

Answer 5

Do not listen to people that claim we have discovered every element that exists in the universe. That answer is far from true. What we have found are around 100 stable elements that make up what we currently know.

Eventually, when we move beyond this intellectual stone age. We are sure to discover new and amazing things that we had no idea existed.

Answer 6

Yes, the universe is too large and creation is on going. There is going to be stronger metals created out there.  And there is probably more elements as well.

Answer 7

Yes, kryptonite, if u don't believe me ask Superman......lol

Serious answer....NO, there are 92 naturally occuring elements and no more have been observed.

Answer 8

We have, on Earth, every metal that exist anywhere in the universe.  There are only some 100 or so elements - PERIOD.  There are no surprises to be found in terms of new elemental metals.

We continue to develop new alloys and other heterogeneous concoctions such as composites.  There will be more nice stuff that will come along but it will just be new arrangements of the same old elements.

Answer 9

Not really. All the stable elemental metals have been discovered - they can be found using the periodic table. Most of them are soft metals in elemental form, and need to mixed with other metals or heat-tempered to create alloys or mixtures that are stronger.

There might be special combinations that make stronger alloys, but they can be made on earth or another planet.

Now that's just metals. there are nonmetals that are stronger.

Carbon buckyballs or nanotubes are one place scientist are looking. It's stronger and lighter than steel. There are also exploration in biochemical fibers that are especially thin, light and strong.

Ofcourse if we could take a teaspoonful of a neutron star - which is incredicbaly dense material - all neutron and use is then it may be another material that is much stronger and heavier.

Hope that helps
