Scientists recently reported that 1 Hassium atom in a carbon-based polymer can enhance the durability by 300%. Further research is necessary now, but soon Hassium-enhanced polymers will be available.

Boy, I hope Uncle Al sees this and responds ;) Frank

Let's assume for now that the report is correct, one Hassium atom per chain indeed improves durability 300%. My first thought was, no way, but then I realized that durability can mean many things, wear and friction, flex life of fiber, tensile strength, hydrolysis resistance, etc. If the Hassium serves as a nucleation site and increases the polymer's crystallinity, there can be very large changes in properties. But, until we see more data, the story could be nothing more than hype! Regards, Ernie
