The advent of self-healing metals marks a significant leap forward in the materials science arena. Exhibiting the remarkable ability to autonomously mend cracks and damage, these metals promise a ...

I haven't broken the screen of an iPhone in almost a decade. Since then, Apple has introduced much stronger glass that can withstand accidental drops much better than 10-year-old iPhones. Even so, I ...

A new type of self-healing concrete has debuted in the U.S. market. The concrete, which is called Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete, gets its self-healing properties from bacteria that is mixed into it.

Scientists have developed a method to help perovskite solar cells to self-heal. This novel "self-healing" mechanism is a potential step toward increasing the reliability and efficiency of this solar ...

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 ...

Concrete may seem strong and permanent, but it can be surprisingly vulnerable to the elements. Now researchers at Drexel University have demonstrated a type of self-healing concrete embedded with ...

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 ...
