This glassy gel is a surprising new class of material that heals itself
In a serendipitous discovery, researchers have created a new class of materials called “glassy gels,” which are semiliquid but difficult to break. The surprising properties of these gels are stretchy, strangely adhesive and can ‘self-heal’ when cut. They make them potentially useful for a wider range of applications than commonly used plastics, which are hard … Read more
