Newly discovered polymer could make shattered screens a thing of the past

A team of researchers of Japanese researchers say they’ve discovered the holy grail of mobile computing: a new type of glass that can heal itself from cracks. Published in the journal Science, a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo believe they’ve found a hard glass-like polymer called “polyetherthioureas” that can heal itself with mild heat and hand pressure. According to the researchers: High mechanical robustness and healing ability tend to be mutually exc
