University of Rochester researchers have announced the development of a 
new polymer, capable of supporting 1,000 times its own mass 
<http://www.techtimes.com/articles/132905/20160211/new-shape-shifting-polymer-1000x-mass.htm>. 
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.
