If you tend to be a bit clumsy with your tech devices, there’s positive news on the horizon for you: scientists have invented a remarkable electricity-conducting material that toughens up as you hit it.
Researchers at the University of California, Merced, have reported on a soft, flexible material with “adaptive durability,” meaning it gets stronger through impact.
The new material also conducts electricity, so it shows promising opportunities for electronic wearables like smartwatches or personalized medical sensors.
