"In the not too distant future, cars bumpers could heal themselves after an accident, or phone screens could regenerate after being dropped on the floor thanks to a engineering breakthrough.
Researchers from Illinois have developed a material that can repair itself by mimicking the way blood clots in the body.
Until now, self-repairing materials have only been able to bond tiny microscopic cracks, but this new material fills in large cracks and holes by regrowing material. "
