A worn piece of silver metal with many cracks and surface imperfections as seen on a microscopic scale from a scanning electron microscope. A large vertical crack splits the left third of the image from the rest, and multiple raised and lowered textures fill the spaces between many smaller cracks throughout.

A recent surprise observation of metal healing itself during fracture experiments at Sandia National Laboratories has provided the first experimental evidence of a theory proposed a decade ago by Texas A&M University researcher Dr. Michael Demkowicz.
