Japanese Researchers Discover Materials For Self-Healing Screen By Accident

Researchers in Japan have developed a kind of 'healable' glass that can repair itself from cracks and breaks. 

According to University of California developed a screen material from a stretchable polymer that could heal broken or cracked screen within a period of 24hrs.

Yanagisawa told the NHK that he hopes "the repairable glass becomes a new environment-friendly material that avoids the need to be thrown away if broken."
