In the study presented at the meeting,
and published last September, lead author Jinxing Li, a doctoral
candidate in the UCSD Department of Nanoengineering, and his colleagues
described how they had demonstrated that the system could repair a
deliberately damaged circuit consisting of a gold electrode, a direct
power source and a red LED, within 30 minutes.
According to Li, electronics' ability to self-heal could be particularly useful for solar panels,
which are often placed in remote and hostile environments, as well as
for future flexible electronics integrated into things like clothes that
will experience a lot of mechanical stress.
