Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Xi’an Jiaotong University and Carnegie Mellon University amongst others have discovered that when nanoscale metal pieces are stretched in small amounts repeatedly, the material can be strengthened as crystal defects are eliminated. This new process is known as “cyclic healing.”
