New tech resolves two challenges for self-healing materials. It could extend the lifespan wind-turbine blades, aircraft wings, and more.

Researchers have found a class of ceramics called MAX phases that can self-heal cracks at far cooler temperatures than other self-healing versions.

A new stretchy, self-healing, damage-resistant, and light-up material called HELIOS could be useful in soft robots or way tougher screens for our devices.

A new self-healing electronic skin could improve water-resistant touchscreens and soft robots. And reduce waste, too.
