Once an issue is identified through testing, various strategies can be employed to restore the nanomaterial or device to its optimal condition. For example, if surface defects are found, techniques like annealing or chemical treatments may be used to repair the damage. In some cases, nanocoatings can be applied to protect the material from further degradation. For electronic nanodevices, self-healing materials are being explored as a way to autonomously repair any damage that occurs during operation.
