Nanotech-enhanced ‘smart paint' promises to detect structural damage

Nanotech-enhanced ‘smart paint' promises to detect structural damage

We've seen scientists explore a number of ways to make paint “smarter” over the years, and now a team of researchers at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow have devised a method that they say could do nothing short of “revolutionize structural safety.” The key to that is some novel nanotechnology that effectively turns the paint into a sensor network that's able to detect minor structural faults before they become a severe problem.
