CDC Calls Nearly 200 Fired Workers Back, Apologizes for 'Disruption' - Newsweek

Entangled polymers and nanosheets create skin-like, self-healing hydrogel
Four hours after being cut with a knife, the material is already 80 to 90% self-healed. After 24 hours, it is typically completely repaired. Furthermore, a one-millimeter-thick hydrogel contains 10,000 layers of nanosheets, which makes the material as stiff as human skin, and gives it a comparable degree of stretch and flexibility.
