Release date: 2015-11-20 According to technology website TechRadar, the chemical engineer at the Technion of Israel has invented a self-healing sensor that can repair its own damage in one day and will make a difference in the field of electronic skin in the future. With the development of technology, various types of flexible electronic components have begun to emerge, and they are widely used in high-tech fields such as wearable devices, robotics, medical and aerospace. However, due to technical limitations, today's flexible electronic components are too fragile and will be broken if accidentally.

But don't worry, technology is always evolving. No, the chemical engineer at the Technion in Israel invented a flexible electronic chip that can "self-heal". In the future, scientists may use this technology to create electronic skin for people with disabilities. It is reported that after covering the skin with artificial limbs, the disabled can perceive the surrounding environment.
The key to this technology is a new type of synthetic polymer containing highly conductive electrodes and gold nanoparticles. When damaged, it expands to fill the gap to prevent current interruption and affect the normal operation of the equipment.
In a material science report, the researchers wrote: "The self-healing effect of the sensitized resistors equipped with this technology is very powerful. Even if it is cut into several segments, the sensor can still work normally."
Tan-Phat Huynh, one of the researchers in the self-healing sensor and an electronic skin specialist, said: "The non-healing sensor will become a new platform for biosensors, helping electronic skin to monitor human health in real time."
