Self-Healing Metal Coating Developed With Nanocapsules

Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany have developed a self-healing nanocapsule coating for metal that will prevent corrosion. This is the first such coating that can be electroplated onto a metal surface. From the Technology Review article:

The self-healing metal can be electroplated, which opens up applications in construction, car manufacturing, and [...]
