Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania said that he created a fabric that is able to repair itself in case of rupture. The textile composition may be adapted to the specific environment.
Experts have discovered a genetic code of self-repair proteins in the annular teeth of the squid, allowing you to move them from liquid to solid in the presence of water.
They checked the work of this biological mechanism in rubber-like materials – cut in half, and he srostetsya in water at a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius.
This has prompted scientists to develop fabrics for clothing that can restore the line breaks and fading during washing in machine.
