AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 14 (TNSjou) -- The University of Texas issued the following news release on Oct. 13, 2022:
Inspired by living things from trees to shellfish, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin set out to create a plastic much like many life forms that are hard and rigid in some places and soft and stretchy in others. Their success -- a first, using only light and a catalyst to change properties such as hardness and elasticity in molecules of the same type -- has br . . .
