Nanotechnology to protect from earthquakes

Two separate efforts using high-tech to protect people from earthquakes have been recently revealed. At the University of Leeds, UK, researchers will use nanotechnology and RFID tags to build a self-healing house in Greece. The house walls will contain nanoparticles that turn into a liquid when squeezed under pressure, flow...
