Cracked Piece of Metal Self-Healed in Experiment That Stunned . . . That the automatic mending process happened at room temperature is another promising aspect of the research Metal usually requires lots of heat to shift its form, but the experiment was carried out in a vacuum; it remains to be seen whether the same process will happen in conventional metals in a typical environment
“Absolutely Stunning” – Scientists Discover Metals That Can . . . For the first time, scientists have observed metal spontaneously healing its microscopic cracks, a phenomenon that contradicts conventional material theories and opens a new frontier in engineering and materials science (Artist’s concept ) Microscopic cracks vanish in experiments, revealing possibility of self-healing machines
‘Stunning’ discovery: Metals can heal themselves - LabNews They only meant to evaluate how cracks formed and spread through a nanoscale piece of platinum using a specialized electron microscope technique they had developed to repeatedly pull on the ends of the metal 200 times per second Surprisingly, about 40 minutes into the experiment, the damage reversed course
Scientists observed cracks in metal that self-heal after . . . Scientists stunned after cracked piece of metal self-healed in experiment; Heartbreaking world-first footage of Antarctic sea floor shows how ship anchors and destroying once-pristine ecosystem; Mystery of eerie ‘ghost’ lights haunting town finally cracked by scientists
Cracked Piece Of Metal Healed Itself In New Experiment . . . A new experiment has left scientists stunned after a metal healed itself Scientists from Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A M University were testing the resilience of the metal, they were
