Self-Healing Materials A New Material-Science Breakthrough Today's construction materials corrode or just disintegrate over time. Infrastructure built with these materials eventually need repair or replacement. New self-healing materials can repair their own structures without human intervention.

Georgia Institute of Technology Microfiber Nanogenerator Under the direction of Professor Zhong Lin Wang a group at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed paired nano textile fibers that convert physical movement into electricity. The individual fibers are microscopic in size. (See Photo 1.) But when you weave enough of them together you create a microfiber nanogenerator that looks like thick threads.
