The physical limitations of existing materials are one of main problems when it comes to flexible electronics, be it wearables, medical or sports tech. If a flexible material breaks, it either ...

The notion of self-healing materials might seem lifted from the plot of the “Terminator” movies, but they’re soon to hit the market.

A new leap in lab automation is shaking up how scientists discover materials. By switching from slow, traditional methods to real-time, dynamic chemical experiments, researchers have created a ...

Taking a cue from the Marvel Universe, researchers report that they have developed a self-healing polymeric material with an eye toward electronics and soft robotics that can repair themselves ...

A new material developed at MIT can mimic plants by taking carbon dioxide from the air and turning it into a useful solid material, potentially helping in the battle against global climate change.

Their material could behave very differently in the macro scale, meaning more research is required. Superhero self-healing polymer can protect satellites from fast-flying space debris ...

Self-healing materials autonomously repair damage and restore their original properties, enhancing durability and safety in applications like aerospace, construction, and electronics.

Researchers develop a battery cathode material that does it all A mix of iron, chlorine, and lithium is conductive, stores lithium, and self-heals.

Genetically engineered bacteria make materials for self-repairing walls and cleaning up pollution Genetically modified bacteria can make all types of materials — and it's easy and cheap ...

The current and potential future methods of developing self-healing materials will be discussed, and their specific applications within the automotive industry, will be explored in the following ...
