Self-healing of damage inside metals triggered by electropulsing stimuli

Abstract The microscopic defects that distributed randomly in metals are not only hard to detect, but also may inevitably cause catastrophic failure. Thus, autonomic probing and healing for damage inside metals continue to be a challenging. Here we show a novel approach for self-healing using electr...
