Metallic self-healing materials exhibit the ability to repair cracks and defects through various mechanisms, such as shape memory effects, diffusion, or electrochemical reactions. Shape memory alloys, ...

Currently there are only a very limited amount of materials which exhibit these self-healing characteristics. Two examples are SiC [1] and MoSi 2 heating elements, which form a protective silica ...

These non-living materials will have capabilities including self-healing, adaptation, growth, and programmability.

The new material uses capsules of recycled oils to seal micro-cracks, potentially extending road lifespan by 30%.

AI-designed concrete could soon allow for self-healing roads that can repair cracks and prevent potholes completely.

What if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid, melt, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to ...

Self-healing roads might seem like something we could have in the future, but scientists and Google are working on making it ...

Self-healing roads, made from biomass waste and designed using AI, could offer a solution to the country’s £143 million pothole problem.

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers at Penn State.

For Eric Detsi, Associate Professor in Materials Science and Engineering ... In other words, the addition of the self-healing anode quintupled the initial lifespan of magnesium-ion batteries.

Here are examples how nanotechnology is being used or has ... In addition to these materials, new lightweight, flame-retardant, self-healing and resilient construction materials, e.g. new ...
