<div class="p" id="text-81215371"> University of Rochester
researchers have announced the development of a new polymer, <a
href="http://www.techtimes.com/articles/132905/20160211/new-shape-shifting-polymer-1000x-mass.htm">capable
of supporting 1,000 times its own mass</a>. Polymers that
can change shape when heated have been developed in the past,
yet this new polymer exhibits the rare quality of becoming
flexible when exposed to body heat. This property, which can
be used to change the shape of a device, could make the
substance useful in medical applications. When the new polymer
is removed from the heat source (such as human body), the
material immediately returns to its original configuration.</div>
