Nestled within mobile phones and even spacecraft, there exists a microscopic "realm of switches" — MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) switch chips. At the heart of these chips are "microcantilevers," which are thinner than a human hair. You can envision them as minuscule springs that vibrate thousands of times every second. The primary hurdle is to guarantee that these tiny springs can endure billions of flexes without succumbing to failure. Recently, a research team from the Institute of Metal Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully developed a nanocrystalline layered composite material. This innovative material acts as a "self-healing armor" for the microcantilevers.
