New self-healing “e-skin” is malleable, recyclable, making it perfect for robotics and biomedical devices

Researchers from the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder have just devised a new method of forming “electronic skin” which is said to be malleable, self-healing, and could potentially be used in the fields of robotics, biomedicine, and more. This new e-skin could serve as the basis for future basis in various engineering, medical, or scientific […]

Scientists develop self-healing rubber that could mean punctured tires repair themselves as you drive

Flat tires and weak rubber bands may very soon become a thing of the past as researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) recently developed a new tough, self-healing rubber. While self-healing materials are not new, engineering the same properties on dry materials such as rubber poses a bigger challenge. According to […]
