Imagine trying to design machines that will last forever, regardless of use or destination. Instead of those machines requiring a steady stream of spare parts (essentially impossible for space probes ...

Even the most carefully designed objects, components, and machines have limited lifespans. This explains why roads crack under repeated stress, cement develops fractures, and protective coatings ...

RALEIGH, NC—Engineers at North Carolina State University have developed a self-healing composite that is tougher than materials currently used to assemble aircraft, automobiles, wind turbine blades ...

Could AI make networks that immediately fix disruptions real? Self-healing networks are exactly what they sound like — networks that can track real-time changes that disrupt service, and re-route ...

Inspired by Roman concrete and modern bioengineering, self-healing materials could cut emissions (Credit: Getty) Inspired by Roman concrete and modern bioengineering, self-healing materials could cut ...

Self-healing tests became the QA industry's biggest bet in 2025. Vendors claim AI can fix broken automation overnight. Engineering teams are burning budgets on tools that supposedly eliminate ...

Self-healing in software testing refers to the ability of automated test scripts or systems to adapt themselves when an application changes, without requiring human maintenance. Applications often ...

Self-healing materials are being developed by RIT researchers to further improve additive manufacturing, specifically 3D-printed products, to make them stronger and more resilient. Christopher Lewis ...

In the fall of 2024, my body collapsed. Not metaphorically—literally. I couldn’t walk, stand, or place weight on my own two feet without unbearable pain. My body had been whispering for years, and in ...

Delamination damage has long hindered the safety and lifetime of fiber-reinforced polymer composites. This failure mode not only undermines their lightweight mechanical advantage but also amplifies ...
