Israeli scientists invent self-healing glass

Israeli scientists have discovered an amazing property of a short aromatic tripeptide YYY, which led to the creation of self-assembling and self-healing glass. This breakthrough occurred accidentally while researchers were studying the properties of other proteins. The research team believes that further experiments could lead to a wide range of applications for this new type of glass. A significant advantage of this innovative material is that its production requires much less energy compared to traditional glass manufacturing methods. This discovery has the potential to greatly impact various industries, from construction to optics, and can serve as a more environmentally friendly alternative to modern materials.
