I thought this interesting. Reminds me of sci-fi stories and UFO reverse engineering.
inCracked piece of metal healed itself in an experiment that flabbergasted researchers
'This was absolutely stunning to watch first-hand'Cracks caused by the kind of strain described above are known as fatigue damage: repeated stress and motion that causes microscopic breaks, eventually causing machines or structures to break. Amazingly, after about 40 minutes of observation, the crack in the platinum started to fuse back together and mend itself before starting again in a different direction.
