In a historic first, scientists at Sandia and Texas A&M University recorded pieces of metal cracking, then fusing back together without human intervention. The findings could overturn fundamental scientific theories and reveal the possibility of self-healing machines.

Green marks the spot where a fissure formed, then fused in this artistic rendering of nanoscale self-healing in metal, discovered at Sandia. Red arrows indicate the direction of the pulling force that unexpectedly triggered the phenomenon.
