In truth, they had discovered the materials “self-healing” properties. To be precise, the team had found that their new solid polymer film melts when impacted by a laser-launched high-speed ...

For example, we could turn bacteria into hard construction materials that have the ability to self-repair in the event of damage. Alternatively, ...

The material's self-healing ability helped these simple circuits to stand up to wear and tear—and to be easily reconfigured. For example, ...

Materials that can tolerate extreme radiation and self-heal would change the game. Researchers estimate that deploying just a few pounds of perovskite materials into space could generate up to ...

For example, self-healing materials, incorporated into spacecraft or roads to combat damage, repair themselves by making and breaking dynamic covalent bonds within the material. “Self-replicating ...
