Scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) have invented a new jelly material that mimics biological matter such as skin, ligaments and bone, and which is very strong, self-hea... Read more
USC Viterbi faculty and students develop a 3D-printed material that can repair itself all on its own. Instead of throwing away your broken boots or cracked toys, why not let them fix themsel... Read more
Fluid-inspired material self-heals before your eyes It’s hard to believe that a tiny crack could take down a gigantic metal structure. But sometimes bridges collapse, pipelines rupture and f... Read more
The cost of making plastics, paints, coatings for cell phone screens and other materials that heal themselves like skin could be dramatically reduced thanks to a breakthrough that a Clemson... Read more
Taking a page from green plants, new polymer “grows” through a chemical reaction with carbon dioxide. A material designed by MIT chemical engineers can react with carbon dioxide from the air... Read more
A self-healing membrane that acts as a reverse filter, blocking small particles and letting large ones through, is the “straight out of science fiction” work of a team of Penn St... Read more
New material reversibly changes its structure in response to different wavelengths of light. MIT researchers have designed a polymer material that can change its structure in response to lig... Read more
This autonomously self-healing material is a breakthrough for soft-matter electronics. Many natural organisms have the ability to repair themselves. Now, manufactured machines will be able t... Read more
Researchers find an ultrathin layer of aluminum oxide, though solid, can flow like a liquid instead of cracking. Researchers have found that a solid oxide protective coating for metals can,... Read more
Researchers create a self-healing, transparent, highly stretchable material that can be electrically activated and used to improve batteries, electronic devices, and robots Scientists, inclu... Read more
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
Berkeley Lab scientists are developing a new way to detect microscopic fractures in materials in the field Light-emitting, four-armed nanocrystals could someday form the basis of an early wa... Read more
Someday, chemically protective suits made of fabric coated in self-healing, thin films may prevent farmers from exposure to organophosphate pesticides, soldiers from chemical or biological a... Read more
