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.
