Flexible, Self-Healing Material Could Improve Durability of Wearable Electronics

Electronic materials are the main tentative block for the development of flexible electronics as current materials do not work properly once broken and healed. An international team of researchers developed a new electronic material, which can heal all of its functions spontaneously even after being broken numerous times. This material can increase the strength of wearable electronics.

Graphene’s Imperfect and Cheaper Form Helps Develop Nanoscrolls

In the future, billions of small graphene-based nanoscrolls could be used to develop water filters. A single, atom-thick layer of graphene is rolled up to make a single scroll. Each scroll can be custom made to trap particular molecules and pollutants in its firmly wound rolls. A highly selective, durable, and lightweight water purification membrane can be developed by stacking billions of these nanoscrolls in layers.
