Self healing glass is considered a Technology Landmark<\/em> for use in an Omega Map<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information contained in this post is taken from an article written by Antonio Vilas-Boas and published by the World Economic Forum cooperating with the Business Insider<\/em> on 22 December 2017. The research was done at the University of Tokyo. The diagram shows two pieces of glass fused together with slight pressure. The fusion line is visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The locus of innovation is a new Principle of Operation. <\/em>Previous systems for bonding glass required independent adhesives. Here the bonding of glass requires slight pressure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effect of this innovation is to improve the Functionality<\/em> : Process-Matter. <\/em>Its position is indicated on the Functionality<\/em> Grid. (S<\/em>ee diagram below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dominant Functional Performance Metric <\/em>is an increase in the ratio; material output to external energy input.  As the external energy requirement is almost zero, the functional performance metric tends to infinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Technology readiness level<\/em> on a scale of 1 to 9is estimated at TRL 3: i.e., \u201cExperimental proof of concept\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
