4. Broken Pipe, Heal Thyself: A team of Spanish scientists recently created a polymer that can bind itself back together even after being sliced with a razor blade, without the help of a catalyst. This is the first man-made self-healing polymer to function without a catalyst, they report in the Sept. 13 issue of the journal Materials Horizon. It's nicknamed "Terminator" because it seems to be as resilient as the T-100 terminator robot from Terminator 2, the polymer was sliced in two in the research lab. You can watch a demo here.
