CHICAGO (Reuters) - Anyone who has heard the snap of a rubber band breaking knows it's time to reach for a replacement.

 

But a group of French scientists have made a self-healing rubber band material that can reclaim its stretchy usefulness by simply pressing the broken edges back together for a few minutes.

 

The material, described on Wednesday in the journal Nature, can be broken and repaired over and over again.

 

It is made from simple ingredients -- fatty acids like those found in vegetable oils, and urea, a waste compound in urine that can be made synthetically.

 

 

Next time you feel like you're in bits, drink some piss.
