Scientists observe world's 1st repairing metal — are self-healing robots coming?
www.livescience.com
Microfractures in nano-size copper and platinum have been observed healing themselves from repeated tugs. The discovery could lead to the construction of self-healing structures and machines.

“Of course, there are lots of industries whose product engineers would love to translate this finding into intentional engineering approaches to create metals that automatically heal themselves in our structural applications,” lead-author Brad Boyce, a materials scientist at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, told Live Science. “Self-healing metals could be useful in a wide range of applications from airplane wings to automotive suspensions.”

    Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no

    Well, it’s a bit of clickbait headline imo.

    I tried to cut of the last bit. But it wouldn’t let me make a post without the original title, unfortunately.

      in my tests I could modify the headline has I like. First I put the URL … there is a suggested headline … which I can modify or copy and paste … then I can modify the text of the post. You can even modify it once it is published !

        in my [tests]

        Tnx for the tip.
        I haven’t tried it via the website. Mainly using Jerboa lately. I thought it could be a community thing, but I’m no expert though. Just tried to find the modification button, but it wasn’t there (now).

        Update: In another layout/ page I found the mod button and managed to change the title!
