Scientists have developed a new type of material that could be used in the future to create self-healing electronics, such as smartphones, batteries, speakers, robotics, and others. The material is transparent, stretches up to 50 times its size, conducts ions to generate current, and stitches itself together in about a day, at room temperature, after being torn apart. The new material is the work of Ph.D. Chao Wang, from the University of California, Riverside, who’s been working on it for the past two years.
