First Aid for Electric Circuits
Researchers at UIUC have developed microcapsules of carbon nanotubes that are resistive in electric circuits when undisturbed, but become conductive when ruptured. This technology has the potential to make more failsafe circuits and more reliable batteries. From the RSC article: Jeffrey Moore, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and colleagues made microcapsules with robust [...]
