Researchers from NASA\u2019s Langley Research Center have been studying materials that can self-heal in a matter of seconds. The materials are being developed so that space shuttle will be\u00a0able to recover from hits from space debris. The material is able to react on impact and recover in less than a second. NASA was happy to announce a successful test of the material using a bullet. While the test was on an early prototype and only used a bullet for the impact, it has given scientists a lot of promise and they believe it will be ready by the next manned space mission. Check out the material in action in the video below.<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"\u2018Terminator\u2019-style material heals itself\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JVWFvKxrcLg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2015\/09\/10\/nasa-created-a-material-that-can-heal-itself-in-less-than-a-second-from-hurtling-space-debris\/#.su6h5j:JV1a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TechCrunch<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Tech Trends 2- Apple iPhone 6s Pre-order is now live<\/h3>\n<p>Want your new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone-6s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iPhone 6s<\/a> the day it becomes available?
