Effectively, it's long chains of carbohydrates. So they're the two main materials that they've used. And it's actually really kind of crucial to the success of this solution that they've used those materials because they're so abundant, which makes it quite cheap to produce.

It was 99.9% successful in the first use of it. But what they found that was also really good is that they could almost recycle it. So they used it four or five times in their experiments. And even after five uses, the effectiveness was still about 95%, which is really significant. And it really helps to kind of lower the cost again in the manufacturing process.

These are two really abundant materials in the natural environment. Chitin is actually the most abundant polysaccharide, which is what it is. And as I said, it's found in many sources, which is fantastic.

But the other thing that's really, really good about this is one of the other main limitations to scaling up these types of solutions is that they can often involve very complex processes and sometimes the need to add toxic chemicals to that process.

But actually, what's amazing that the scientists have done here is something called self-assembly, which is basically these two materials have been forced together And it's able to create this structure naturally. And that's really fantastic because it cuts down the production process and the complexity of it.

And so the scientists in this case are hoping certainly that it can be scaled up quickly. They're currently applying for a patent for the material and they're searching for industrial partners to see if it can be produced, as we say, on a bigger scale.

Agitation has been growing among fellows of the Royal Society over Elon Musk's behaviour towards the scientific community.

They've claimed his actions, which include his role in funding cuts for US government scientific research, censorship of climate change issues and attacks on the former US chief medical advisor and society fellow Anthony Fauci, amount to a breach of the organisation's code of conduct. The society has investigated Mr Musk twice before and opted for no action.
