Research breakthrough could enable future generations of self-sensing materials

Materials Science

Breakthrough research that eliminates the guesswork in developing advanced 3D printed materials could help accelerate the development of new forms of 'self-sensing' aeroplanes, robots, bridges and more. A team of engineers led by researchers from the University of Glasgow have developed the first system capable of modelling the complex physics of 3D-printed composites capable of detecting strain, load, and damage using nothing more than a measure of electrical current.
