Looking for a more effective solution to the all-too-common wobbly table dilemma than a folded up bit of cardboard or piece of rubber under the leg, University of Virginia physicist Lou Bloomfield created a new type of silicone rubber called Vistik – it’s malleable enough to take on any shape when pressed, but is still resilient enough to offer support, as it graduallystarts to return to its original shape as the pressure is released. The material could have many applications … beyond just steadying up wobbly tables.
