Microcapsules quickly fix nanoscale cracks
U. PITTSBURGH (US) — Researchers propose a “repair-and-go” approach to fixing malfunctions caused by small surface cracks on any digital device or part before it hits store shelves.Although some scratches on digital devices are easy to see and repair, researchers have addressed hard-to-pinpoint nanoscale scratches, which can cause the device as a whole to malfunction. Findings are published in Nature Nanotechnology....
