a Team of scientists at the University of Michigan have created-healing "skin" that is reminiscent of liquid metal from which was made the terminator T-1000. "Skin" consists of a chemically active fluid, sandwiched between two sheets of polymer. The hole that appears in the material after the passage of a bullet, "heal" within a few seconds, reports New Scientist.

as evidence of the efficacy of his formulation scientists filmed the video, which captures a shot of the weapons mounted on target "skin".

Scientists explain that healing occurs through the liquid tributylamine, which reacts with oxygen and hardens, closing the hole for a few seconds. In the scientific community there are other developments with materials that "cure" themselves, but it takes a lot of time. And development with the "skin" a La the terminator T-1000 could be applied in the space industry. In particular, in the design of spacesuits for astronauts: the slightest damage on the shell could be instantly eliminated, preventing leakage of oxygen.
