New research from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Stanford University has found that palladium nanoparticles can repair atomic dislocations in their crystal ...
Materials can deform plastically by atomic-scale line defects called dislocations. Many technical applications are based on this fundamental process, such as forging, but we also rely on the power of ...

Metals’ Hidden Atomic Order Unveiled
Breaking the long-standing assumption that intense deformation and mixing in metal processing fully randomize atomic arrangements, MIT scientists have demonstrated that metals retain subtle but stable ...
Our bodies have a remarkable ability to heal from broken ankles or dislocated wrists. Now, a new study has shown that some nanoparticles can also “self-heal” after experiencing intense strain, once ...
