Hygiene: Jellyfish are blueprint for new absorbent materials

• Four years ago, scientists from the Chalmers University of Technology and the Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology initiated a project aimed at examining the little-known mechanisms of jellyfish. The group found out that the jellyfish's structure is made of interacting proteins and polysaccharides that are built up in a highly hierarchic fashion. Ions were also found to play a key role in the mechanism.
