Russian scientists create artificial 'human skin' that becomes STRONGER when stretched
rt.com | 2020-01-23
A Russian-led team of scientists has created a synthetic stand-in for human skin that overcomes many of the stumbling blocks faced in recreating living tissues by being both soft and firm and getting stronger when stretched. | The researchers from Moscow State University, along with colleagues in the United States, spent years developing the clever material, which is even capable of self-assembly. | The skin, which consists of molecular fibers which are grafted onto the long part of the molecule, is very elastic but if it is stretched, twisted or bent out of shape in other ways it gets stronger very quickly.
