The means and value of materials happening in nature is  an inspiration to researchers . There was information that researchers from Tel Aviv University have cultivated forests of grass like peptides that are water and dust resistant.

Lihi Adler-Abramovich, a graduate student at TAU with a team that is working in the scope of 100 nanometers, which is about one-billionth of a meter have come up with a new method that will regulate peptide molecules. There is a possibility for the method to transform into self-cleaning coatings intended for windows and solar panels.

It also allows you to make your own composition of short peptides as useful as a supercapacitor.

They mistakenly came across the peptide forest when they were doing a project to look for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
