Researchers from University of Cambridge in the UK, including one of Indian origin, have designed a super strong, stretchy artificial spider silk, composed almost entirely of water. The fibres, which resemble miniature bungee cords as they can absorb large amounts of energy, are sustainable, non-toxic and can be made at room temperature, researchers said and it may be used to make eco-friendly textiles and sensors.

Researcher from RMIT University in Australia, including one of Indian origin, have designed a low cost technology by which textile can spontaneously clean themselves of stains and grime simply in less than six minutes by being put under a light bulb or worn out in the Sun.

The new technology is developed with a cheap and efficient way to grow special nanostructures - which can degrade organic matter when brought into contact with light - directly onto textiles.
