The scientists dial the polymer "polyether-thioureas" and it was disclosed accidentally with graduate school student Yu Yanagisawa. ADVERTISEMENTThe name's a bit of a tongue twister extremely marketing people may want to come up with a catchier nickname ought the self-healing monitor become mercantile available.
