'Broken Mirror Heals' - Groundbreaking discovery by Japanese scientist

Japanese scientists have steadily developed a new type, capable of self-healing after cracks.

This discovery opens the door to making a lightweight, lightweight, 3X longer life span than what is commonly seen today.

The groundbreaking discovery was made by scientist Yu Yanagisawa of the University of Tokyo. Mr. Yu Yanagisawa observed this interesting phenomenon when studying the adhesive that can be used on wet surfaces.

In repeated experiments, Yanagisawa threw the glass into small pieces, and then pressed the edges of the debris together for about 30 seconds until the glass slammed close together. like the original shape.

To prove that strong bond, he hung up a bottle of water on this piece of glass. The results showed that glass and water bottles were not separated.

Yu Yanagisawa was the first to demonstrate the concept of "self-healing" glass . Earlier, other scientists have confirmed similar "self-healing" properties of the material, but with rubber or gauze.

The organic glass used by Yu Yanagisawa is made from a low-molecular-weight polymer called "polyether thioureas," which uses hydrogen bonds to break the edges of broken glass. again.

This glass is used to make phone screens and tableware. Does this mean that you will be able to repair your phone's screen with just one press, or attach a broken glass to pieces?

Scientists believe that with Yu Yanagisawa's breakthrough, that will come true in the near future.
