In August of last year, we harped about a self-healing electrical circuit that is capable of 'regenerating' its conductivity even when broken into two pieces. This time around, researchers from the Rice University have concocted a half-solid, half-liquid adaptive material that can not only self-heal but also 'restrengthen' itself into its original form even after…
Back in February, we talked about how Switzerland's EPFL scientists contrived reconfigurable and self-repairing electronic circuits. Well, this time around, a team of researchers (headed by by Guihua Yu, an assistant professor) at the University of Texas, have created their version of a self-healing electrical circuit. Demonstrating its intrinsic flexibility, the circuit can not only…
Previously, we have talked about - how nanocellulose (derived from plant matter) boasts of a whopping 8 times better strength-to-weight ratio than steel; and how graphene (a carbon allotrope) has the ability to perform twice as well as Kevlar when it came to dissipating the energy of a bullet. But this time around scientists have…
