Breast augmentation with ... egg white

Japanese scientists have invented a super-durable gel that can be used as a safe plastic medical material, such as aesthetic-aesthetic field. The recipe is quite simple: mostly egg white is . stirred on the stove.

Are you obsessed with images of salt or silicon chest bags that break apart, causing trouble for users? Surely you will be surprised to witness the experiment of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan), when they use 220kg force to hit the mysterious plastic material that is unharmed!

When the force exerted up to 224kg, the new material cracked a bit but did not flow and still tightened into a block - (photo provided by the team).

When the force is up to 224kg, the block of new material is slightly cracked but thick enough to not overflow even if it contains up to 80% water.

The team joked that they actually did the work in . the kitchen, not the lab. This strange block of material is a super-dense gel with quite similar cooking methods: egg whites are supplemented with some surfactants and ions; Then stir well to condense the proteins in the eggs and heat them up, so it is gel.

It may sound like a joke, but that way of making the gel has a homogeneous structure of extremely high proteins, which is why a 220kg force cannot make a 9mm diameter gel block. It has flattened but still retains its surface and cohesion.

According to Professor Tatsuya Nojima - former lecturer of Tokyo Institute of Technology, currently working at Southeast University (China), a member of the research team - this material will be applied in health and some related fields. another. Most importantly, it can be formed by something extremely easy to find - egg white - and can be decomposed by microorganisms when not in use.
