A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a magnetic ink that can be used to make self-healing batteries, electrochemical sensors and wearable, textile-base... Read more
Electronic materials have been a major stumbling block for the advance of flexible electronics because existing materials do not function well after breaking and healing. A new electronic ma... Read more
Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a first-of-its-kind self-healing gel that repairs and connects electronic circuits, crea... Read more
Flexible sensors have been developed for use in consumer electronics, robotics, health care, and space flight. Future possible applications could include the creation of ‘electronic skin’ an... Read more
A cut or torn tire usually means one thing — you have to buy a new one. But some day, that could change. For the first time, scientists have made tire-grade rubber without the processing ste... Read more
If you cut yourself shaving, it’s no big problem because you know it will heal. But what if you scratch the screen on your cell phone, or scrape your car up against something and put a long... Read more
“Surprisingly, some of the catalysts we’ve developed for use in the artificial leaf device actually heal themselves” Another innovative feature has been added to the world’s first practical... Read more
