Fungal and Sun Rays Tested to Harden Cotton Fibers
The University of Texas cotton research lab received a culture of fungi that nearly wore away a shoe to study how fungi bacteria and ultraviolet rays affect cotton fibers. Researchers hope to develop resistant fibers enabling clothes to last three to six years. In a separate incident near Rockford Illinois Mrs Doris McDonough was struck by a .22 caliber bullet hitting her neck but she remained unhurt after the projectile dropped from her coat three hours later.
