The discovery of new materials is one constant that drives technological development. Consider the impact of the inventions of plastic and steel alloys on society. We've only scratched the surface of what this planet's resources are capable of, and the future looks promising if we can maximize - and safeguard - their utilization.
Let's have a look at some new materials that science is currently developing that will have a significant impact on our future.
Ultra-Ever Dry
I understand that they need to improve on the name. It sounds like one of those ridiculous overpriced items they attempt to sell you on TV at times when no one should be watching TV at all. This isn't anything like that; it's a substance for a coating that produces some bizarre outcomes. It repels grease, muck, paint, and water like it's nothing.
Aerogel
This material is already employed in items such as wetsuits and nuclear bombs. Because it is 99.98% air, it is easily one of the lightest materials on the world. Despite this, it is a good insulator due to its surface to volume ratio. When compared to a real-world surface, a cubic inch of aerogel has roughly the same interior surface area as a football field.
BioWool
As the name suggests, this is a biological polymer that is similar to the use of wool. It's totally made of garbage, and current estimates indicate that burying it in the ground will destroy it completely in two years. So, in essence, all trash that is converted into BioWool vanishes miraculously, but not before being extremely valuable.
Carbon Nanotubes
You're exactly correct if these sound like small carbon tubes. These bad boys' principal purpose is micro/nanochip manufacturing and the automobile industry. It will make our cars, planes, space shuttles, and cellphones smarter while also making them smaller! At the very least, it will make them much wiser if it makes them bigger.
Mushroom Packaging
This is fundamentally a green variant of Styrofoam. It makes a material out of developed together contagious strings called mycelium and it can basically be framed into any shape you'd need. Like most things individuals are making nowadays, it's completely biodegradable. It's impossible to tell how this will help our future in bundling!
