Humans have learnt many
things from nature. These things have helped us in
our daily life. The
latest thing is
self-repairing clothing.
Scientists have developed a special way for
clothing to repair rips and tears by itself,
without
the need for sewing. It works
with materials such as cotton, linen and wool. The
scientists are
from the Naval Research
Office and Pennsylvania State University in the
USA. Scientists Dr Walter
Dressick and
Dr Melik Demirel looked at how a squid can cling
on to things so well. The research
team
found a protein in the rings of teeth that cover
the suckers on a squid. The protein is similar
to the one found in the silk that
spiders use to make spider webs. It is very strong
and elastic.
The new
protein has been developed as part of a coating,
which is put on clothes. When the
coating is dipped in water, the area
around the rip or tear joins together in less than
a minute.
This could help clothes last
longer and save money for us. It could also be
useful for military and
survival
clothes.
People
like
soldiers
and
mountaineers would
be
safer
if
they
had clothes
that
could be repaired quickly and easily.
Professor Demirel spoke about the invention. He
said,
coatings
are
thin,
less
than
a
micron,
so
they
wouldn't be
noticed
in everyday
wear.
Then
he
added,
making self-healing
textiles.

mum
fainted
（昏厥）
and
knocked
herself
out,
unconscious,
four
year
old
Henry
Davies knew just what to
do

told
the

services
how
to
get
to
his
home
and
then
phoned his father.
The
boy
told
the
doctors
what
had
happened
and
directed
them
to
the
house
in
Coundon,
Coventry, and even offered the doctors
a drink
When they
arrived. Henry also offered to look after his
12
—
month old brother
Noah.
His father, Iran,
35, said,
quite poorly. I left for work
early at about 7:30 am and as she got up after I
left she felt quite dizzy
and faint.
The next thing she remembers is fainting down on
the floor and hearing Henry talking
to
someone. He had seen her fall and hit her head on
the table, but he couldn't wake her up. So
he picked up the phone and dialled 999
for an ambulance.
Chloe
said,
we've
read
a
few
times.
He
even
put
a
blanket
over
me.
The
ambulance
crew
were
amazed.
We're very proud of him.
