At Cambridge University, researchers are looking into ways to develop a process to make strong, stretchy threads in an environmentally friendly way. They hope to create such material that could replace plastics and other harmful materials. This new material the researchers are studying may allow improvements in products like bike helmets and even parachutes. It could be used to bulletproof jackets and even airplane wings. One of the most impressive properties of this material is that it is 98 percent water!
