The Wave of the Future?

 

 

The University of Leeds' Nano Manufacturing Institute (NMI) is involved in the European Union funded project which will develop special walls for a high-tech villa being built on a mountainside in Greece.  Along with other advanced technology the walls will contain nano polymer particles and sensors to monitor the stress levels on the building.  When the building is placed under stress, the polymer particles liquify, fill the cracks and then harden. 

Nanotechnology involves making things with useful scientific properties on a tiny scale - less than one-hundred thousandth the width of a human hair.

What a great inovation this is. 

More details can be read in the original article at Science Daily.

Wouldn't that be an interesting thing to have - when you make a mistake with a nail hole, for example, if would fill right in and you'd never see it again.
