Self-Erasing Ink (VIDEO)

Technical University of Munich (TUM)

Caption

Researchers at the Technical University Munich (TUM) have successfully developed supramolecular materials that disintegrate at a predetermined time. The video shows a self-erasing ink. A given quantity of 'fuel' determines how long the TUM-logo is visible. After the fuel has been consumed, the logo disappears. Refueling makes the logo appear again.
