Rubber Bands

A material that is able to self-repair even when it is sliced in two has been invented by French researchers.

The substance, described in the journal Nature, produces surfaces when cut that retain a strong chemical attraction to each other.

Pieces of the material join together again as if never parted without the need for glue or a special treatment.
