What are Self-Healing Materials? Self-healing materials are a class of advanced materials that have the ability to autonomously repair damage and restore their original properties without external ...

Although they're malleable and adaptable, soft robots and flexible electronics also aren't as protected as their rigid-shelled counterparts, so they're more likely to get ripped or punctured. A new ...

Researchers have developed self-healing, biodegradable, 3D-printed materials that could be used in the development of realistic artificial hands and other soft robotics applications. Researchers have ...

In the ever-evolving world of materials science, researchers are making significant strides in developing materials with the fascinating ability to heal themselves. This innovation, reminiscent of ...

Sometimes science advances at a snail's pace, but in this case that's a good thing: researchers have created a squishy material that combines polymers with liquid metal, demonstrated in a snail-like ...

Metal-halide perovskite, a next-generation semiconductor material, exhibits self-healing properties after exposure to high-energy proton radiation, recovering from damage induced by low-energy protons ...

Self-healing coatings are advanced materials that can repair damage, such as scratches and cracks on their own. Researchers have developed an efficient method for preparing self-healing films ...

Self-healing materials sound like something straight out of a science fiction novel or comic book, right? Because unless those materials are "alive" in some sort of fashion, they can never really ...

A plane wing that changes shape in flight to better handle the airflow crossing it could be on the horizon thanks to a materials science advance from researchers in Stockholm. The trick involves the ...

Scientists have created "living materials" from bacteria that can repair themselves when damaged. Researchers say the materials could one day be used in medicine to improve skin repair. The materials, ...
