Create the best warmth in the world thanks to ... polar bear fur

Thanks to the simulation and improvement of the polar bear's fur, scientists have successfully invented the world's best warming material.

How can polar white bears stay warm in one of the coldest places on Earth? From this question, Professor Yu Shu Hong (Yu Shu Hong) began to study and find a solution.

According to South China Morning Post on June 17, at the research room in Hefei (the city of Anhui province, southeast China), Professor Du's group studied the properties of hairs and the structure of the North White bear. pole.

They found their unique properties compared to those of other mammals. The most striking is the hollow polar bear's fur inside and intertwined like a bird's nest, creating an extremely effective insulation.

The only weakness of Arctic white bear fur is its brittle nature . However, this has been improved and overcome by scientists, resulting in the world's best warming material.

The team used carbon materials to replace the beard, and attached them to the surface woven with nanofiber technology.

In the study published in the scientific journal Chem , the team claimed the new material is lighter than any heat preservation material currently in use, with 1m3 weighing only 8 kg. It is expected to be used in Chinese supersonic aircraft.

The group is still looking for ways to produce this material in a mass manner.
