Researchers Invent Alternative Plastics from Water
According to the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Japanese Scientists invented “Elastic Water”. Also made it to the news of Japan’s National TV channel NHK, Japanese scientists from Tokyo University invented a new substance that consists of 95% water. Obtained by adding two grams of clay and a small quantity of some organic matter into normal water, this new substance is jelly-like and is considered proper for usage in medicine for the long-term to stick tissues together.
The study period is scheduled to end in September 2010, if the scientists can succeed in increase the density of the substance, it can be used to produce ecologically clean plastic materials.
A report has already been published in the latest issue of British scientific magazine “Nature”.

It’s so nice to see that we’re so dumb that they don’t even attempt to give us a few critical details – like what the “organic” matter is that they’re adding – why even mention “2 grams” of clay when there is no mention of the total volume into which the clay is added? It’s idiotic.
