Technology Spotlight: New Type of Glass Can “Heal” Itself

A new kind of glass has been produced by researchers in the process of looking for alternative properties for adhesives. 

The glass has a unique property in that, if cracked, it can repair itself with the brief application of mild pressure. This feature has huge implications for cellphone users, not to mention dozens of other potential applications.

Catch the details of this welcome breakthrough in this week’s Technology Spotlight.
