Who would have thought that rubber and clay could get along so well, but recent studies suggest that by incorporating clay nanoparticles in latex paint, the paint will then become much more fire resistant and overall much hardier. The professors over at Warwick, UK have discovered that when they add in laponite clay with latex, the resulting effect allows the paint to be much more scratch resistant and eventually may even heal itself it it does scratch (kinda like Wolverine). Healing paint? What will they come up with next? [Story Via Materials World]

New Designer
For all of you that don't know, Teddy has left Pieces to pursue his clothing line. He has been with us since the very first issue and his talent and skills will be greatly missed.
We have brought on Andrea, whose bio you can read on the about section. We are very excited to have her on board an believe that her talent will bring Pieces to a new level. Check out her portfolio.
