Undergraduates At One Cleveland Ohio University Discover New Use For 60 Year Old Kids Toy...Silly Putty

Now, 60 years later, Silly Putty is back in the Science labs as the latest technology breakthrough for possibly fixing potholes on streets and highways across America. Undergraduates at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University are proving that we can run across a giant puddle of Silly Putty and it stiffens up like a solid.
