Creativity links elements in the most unique way. Paper is typically made of plant "earth" material (wood, bamboo, etc) and previously, one of these posts showed how paper and ink (also made originally of plant material or minerals), was reforming water when high-technology isn't viable for poorer countries, poorer people.

Energizing young minds, the designer describes kids' natural ability to go look at anything - holding up the microscope in the air, putting anything underneath the snap-card form to see what is held in the air and the world around them.

On Wednesday, reports reveal self-healing material that rebinds itself by just adding water. "The researchers cut it, then put the two pieces back together with a drop of water" and it was just as strong as before the damage.

Makes you rethink that swim in the ocean, huh?

Maybe your personal elements are creativity, passion, determination and social responsibility. Define your elements today and start improving your tomorrow.
