The latest news from around Sandia.

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by witnessing metals heal themselves without any human intervention, challenging fundamental scientific theories. The research team from Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A&M University observed pieces of metal cracking and fusing back together at the nanoscale, a phenomenon previously thought impossible. This newly discovered self-healing ability in metals could…

Scientists for the first time have witnessed pieces of metal crack, then fuse back together without any human intervention, overturning fundamental scientific theories in the process.

In the typical materials that we encounter every day-and even in state-of-the-art chips in computers-electrons move around in three dimensions (3D). However, scientists can force electrons to move around in two dimensions (2D) by creating ultra-thin materials like graphene.
