"A self-healing material, when carved in two parts, can go back together like nothing has happened, just like human skin," said Chao Wang, the researcher behind the creation.
It isn't the first material to have self-healing properties. Some phones are already fitted with similar technology on their cases, such as the LG G Flex. But Wang's attempt marks the first instance of a regenerating material that can conduct electricity, meaning it could be used for phone screens.
It also fares better in varied environments such as humid places compared with previous versions, according to Wang.
"Previous self-healing polymers haven't worked well in high humidity," said Wang. "It can change the mechanical properties."
