From the article:
Researchers from Texas A&M University and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) developed a new material that can autonomously heal in air and underwater. This first-of-its-kind, 3D printable and stimuli-responsive polymer is expected to be critical to building realistic prosthetic limbs, as well as enable massive reconfigurability in future military programs, opening new opportunities for morphing unmanned air vehicles, self-healing helicopter blades and robotic platforms.
