In a breakthrough observation, scientists fromchave unearthed a wonder at the nanoscale level. Through a series of resilience tests on a 40-nanometer-thick platinum strip, they noted an unprecedented phenomenon – the metal healing its fatigue damage, a typically irreversible process. Indeed, it seems that metals possess an intrinsic ability to mend themselves, at least under certain conditions. The Unforeseen Performance: Under the Microscope Fatigue damage is a well-documented issue in engineering, occurring when repeated stress and strain induce microscopic fractures within metallic structures. These tiny fractures gradually develop into larger breaks, leading to catastrophic failures that can be costly and … Continue reading The Unexpected Mechanism of Self-Repairing Metals Discovered: Future of Engineering
