Terminator fans – it’s happening.

The material the baddie robot used in the second film to repair itself could become a reality after Nasa scientists created a similar substance.

Of course the US space organisation isn’t intending to build a T-1000 but instead wants to use the stuff to make self-repairing spaceships in the future.

‘While other approaches for materials self-repair have utilised similar liquid-to-solid transitions, our approach permits the development of materials capable of sealing a breach within seconds, far faster than previously described methods,’ the researchers, which also included members from University of Michigan, wrote in American Chemical Society’s Macro Letters.

A video showed a bullet hole fixing itself in seconds once liquid resin (thiol-ene-trialkylborane) pumped into it had polymerised after coming into contact with oxygen.

:-k Wouldn't the vacuum of outer space suck the liquid out where there is no oxygen?

Quite a leap comparing it to T-1000
