When damaged, living tissues will knit themselves back together into a functional wholeness. Could we engineer a synthetic material with this amazing quality and, if so, what possibilities would unfold?
In materials science, researchers are developing methods of “bio-mimicking,” in which synthetic materials could emulate biological systems. In an article in the journal Science, Binghamton University Assistant Professor of PhysicsAna Laura Elías and Rodolfo Cruz-Silva of the Research Initiative for Supramaterials and Aqua Global Innovation Center in Japan’s Shinshu University, review one such attempt: the development of reversible fission-fusion graphene oxide fibers. The innovators of this process – Dan Chang, Bo Fang, Zhen Xu, Zheng Li, Fan Guo, Weiwei Gao and Chao Gao of Zheijiang University in China, Yilun Liu of Xi’an Jiaotong University in China, and Laurence Brassart of Monash University in Australia – also had an article published in the sa

By following this important step the microwave will be warm before you begin, ensuring the popcorn will come out nice and fluffy once you cook it. FYI: There are other “popping hints” on the back of the bag worth noting.
