Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Houston have achieved sustained self-healing of a composite material. The findings promise to extend the lifetime of aircraft and ...

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 ...

ESA-backed project tests carbon-fiber composites that detect damage and fix themselves.

Self-healing glass may sound like a science fiction concept, but new research from the University of Central Florida demonstrates it's much closer to reality. Chalcogenide glasses are comprised of ...

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 ...

Spacecraft of the future may be able to detect and repair their own structural damage in orbit, a capability that could make ...
