Perhaps one of the most common breakdowns associated with smartphones is the cracked screen as a result of a strong impact or fall. Engineers for many years trying to solve this problem, developing more and more new protective coatings and more durable vitreous alloys, but completely get rid of the appearance of cracks or scratches in the end still can not. Nevertheless, some hope gives a new development of Japanese scientists.
Professor Takuzo Aida and his team from the University of Tokyo, when developing a new type of adhesive, eventually developed a vitreous alloy that possessed the property of self-healing under the pressure exerted on it.
Earlier developments of self-healing glass showed the possibility of restoring only superficial and superficial scratches. The new material can actually be reassembled after the complete destruction of its structure, for example, with a fracture. This feature, of course, could be applied in a variety of practical areas.
