Researchers have created a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used in aircraft wings, turbine blades and other applications – and can repair itself more than 1,000 times.

Inspired by Roman concrete and modern bioengineering, self-healing materials could cut emissions and transform how infrastructure is built and maintained ...

Abstract: Recognizing and quantifying microcracks on surfaces are crucial for early detection of structural damage, as they can lead to more complex issues in engineering structures. In this study, a ...
