nanotech self-healing in real life!

Well I don't have a video of it, but just as an example, nanotechnology is really hot these days, one of the big things about it is self-healing machines.

Apparently you can get this article for free if you have a card for your local public library here in the USA, but I've read about this kind of thing extensively myself already. Basically they are talking about having a coating on a tank that would automatically heal itself if struck by a bullet or similar object. Just like KITT on the new Knight Rider. Also they are talking about tanks being able to change color via nanotechnology.
I don't know why some of you guys are like "what is nbc's obsession with nanotechnology?". At some point in the future, you might not even buy small consumer electronics objects. You might buy the intellectual property which tells your nanotechnology printer at home how to rearrange the atoms in raw materials like carbon and silicon into a handheld computer.
Anyway here's another article that you can actually read in full for free without a library card, talking about a house being built in Greece that can automatically heal cracks such as after an earthquake.
