While it is always disturbing to hear about the unexpected collapse of a bridge or building, the technology is developed to reduce the chances of such incidents. Increasingly this is in the form of sensors that are implanted within structures that measurement and transmission of data on the stresses that the surrounding material experienced. If the mechanical stress caused such a break sensors, but there is not much good left - replace depending on the location, but may also be impossible. Fortunately, researchers at North Carolina State University, a self-healing structural stress sensor have created ... Continue Reading Structural stress sensor is able to repair themselves
