Microscopic scratches in electrical circuits can interrupt the flow of electricity and
seriously impact the performance of devices, but such scrapes are hard
to detect and even harder to repair, researchers say.
Now, engineers from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and
the University of Pittsburgh have designed so-called nanomotors that can
autonomously detect and move toward these scratches before wedging
themselves into the cracks. [Video: Watch the Nanomotors in Action as They Heal a Scratch]
