Welcome! You’re come to the beat place on the web to find the smartest new materials around- materials with built-in intelligence. So read, explore, and post a comment. Tell me how you think you could use them.
You know how a sponge expands in water? This thin, transparent film does the opposite. It contracts. It’s soft and pliable so it could be used to make the heel straps on flippers when you go swimming. Then when you got into the sea, they’d shrink to fit your feet. Or you could make a rescue rope with it. When it got wet, the rope would shrink and you’d be able to pull people out of the water. Would that be cool or what?
This fabric’s really smart. When it’s dry, the tiny spikes on its surface stand up, and it’s porous. When it’s wet, they close and it becomes impervious. The spikes also curl up in extreme temperature to trap air and provide insulation. It’d make a great raincoat to wear in either winner or summer.
Concrete is soft when newly mixed, but it becomes very hard when it sets. It’s durable, but it isn’t normally something that brightens that brightens the room. This stuff is different. It’s made from layers of concrete and optical fibres and it’s translucent. Imagine living in a building where light comes from the walls. Or imagine a motorway where the layout of the lanes was changed by switching on light in the ground. And what about dance classes where light on the floor could show you where to put your feet? Fun stuff, huh?
This dense, impact-absorbing silicone has important safety applications. It’s only an inch thick, but you can drop an egg on it and the egg won’t break. It could be used to make car bumpers that would absorb the impact of a crash. Or you could put it under baby’s crib, or in a children’s play ground area. I’d like to install it in my kitchen. Then I’d be able to drop brittle objects like plates without breaking th
