Inspirisani pricom Dzejmsa Grejema Balarda "Hiljadu snova Stelaviste", grcki naucnici grade kucu koja ce imati sposobnost da samu sebe popravlja u slucaju ekstremnih deformacija (citaj: zemljotresa). Proces se zasniva na nanotehnologiji i materijalu pod imenom "Plasteks". "Popravka" ne bi imala za cilj da potpuno spreci eventualno rusenje zgrade, vec da pruzi stanarima dovoljno vremena da pobegnu na bezbednu udaljenost.
House Repairs Itself in Earthquake
By Bill Christensen
A "self-healing" house is under construction on a Greek mountainside. Leeds NanoManufacturing Institute will take the lead in a EU-funded project by developing special walls with nano polymer particles. The intent is that when squeezed under pressure (during an earthquake), the nano polymer particles will flow into razbijacs and harden to form a solid material.
This house will have more going for it than nanotech. The house walls will be built from unique load-bearing steel frames. But the house will also contain wireless, battery-less sensors and RFID tags to collect data over time—information about stresses and vibration, temperature and humidity.
