The University of Chicago has created a new plastic that could revolutionize space travel. This plastic can be easily molded into different objects and retain its shape at room temperature. The plastic is also designed to be recyclable, which makes it sustainable. However, there are still some limitations to the plastic and it has not yet reached the same level of toughness and elasticity as traditional plastics. Nonetheless, scientists are optimistic about the potential of this new type of plastic.
