It starts with a riddle that has long puzzled scientists: The Pantheon was built almost 2,000 years ago. The iconic structure, which boasts the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome, has endured ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

Metal-halide perovskite, a next-generation semiconductor material, exhibits self-healing properties after exposure to high-energy proton radiation, recovering from damage induced by low-energy protons ...

The hydrogel has a unique structure, making it the first to combine strength and flexibility with self-healing capabilities. We all encounter gels in daily life – from the soft, sticky substances you ...

Robots could soon be cloaked in human-like synthetic skin, similar to the cyborg assassin of the "Terminator" movie franchise, after Stanford University researchers developed an ultra-realistic, ...
