Japanese scientists invent 'elastic' water

Japanese scientists from the Tokyo University on Thursday claimed they invented a new material, which consists of water by 95 per cent hence safe for humans and environment.

A report on the work of the Japanese chemists has been published today in the latest issue of the 'Nature' scientific magazine.

The new material was obtained by adding about two grams of clay and a small quantity of appropriate organic matters into normal water.

The new aqua substance is elastic and transparent and looks very much like jelly. Its properties make it possible to use it in medicine for sticking together tissues.

If its density is increased, the new material could be used for the production of ecologically clean plastic materials.
