Metal observed repairing itself, a breakthrough in materials science
The researchers closely watched as a 40-nanometer-thick piece of platinum, suspended in a vacuum, self-heal nanoscale cracks.
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A&M University have observed a metal repairing itself under extreme mechanical stress. Using advanced transmission electron microscopy, the team closely watched as a 40-nanometer-thick piece of platinum, suspended in a vacuum, demonstrated an unprecedented ability to self-heal nanoscale cracks caused by fatigue damage.

Cracked Piece of Metal Self-Healed in Experiment That Stunned Scientists
File this under 'That's not supposed to happen!'. In an experiment, scientists observed a metal healing itself. If this process can be fully understood and controlled, we could be at the start of a whole new era of engineering.
In a study published last year, a team from Sandia National Laboratories and Texas A&M University was testing the resilience of the metal, using a specialized transmission electron microscope technique to pull the ends of the metal 200 times every second.
Poland May Send ‘Peacekeeping’ Soldiers to Ukraine AFTER The War is Over
During an appearance on “Graffiti” on Dec. 31, Morawiecki said that he would let Poles decide if Polish forces should serve as peacekeepers in Ukraine following a ceasefire. In order to decide, the issue would likely be put to a referendum.
“If the Americans took part in such a mission [to guarantee peace in Ukraine – ed.], I would like the Poles to speak out on this issue. I would make it dependent on the Poles, on the Poles’ decision. Among other things, such a (referendum) option is also possible. I would make whether or not Polish troops are a part of such a mission dependent on this,” said Morawiecki in the “Graffiti” program.
IRS Under Fire for New Crypto Rules That Erode Privacy and Spark Legal Challenges
The Blockchain Association, DeFi Education Fund, and Texas Blockchain Council jointly filed a lawsuit contesting the IRS and Treasury Department’s decision to classify DeFi platforms as “brokers.”
This move, finalized on December 27, has drawn sharp criticism from within the cryptocurrency sector. By broadening the definition of a broker, the IRS now requires decentralized exchanges and other related platforms to report all digital asset transactions, including sensitive taxpayer details. The rule is set to take effect in 2027.
We obtained a copy of the lawsuit for you here.
“The IRS and Treasury have gone beyond their statutory authority in expanding the definition of ‘broker’ to include providers of DeFi trading front-ends even though they do not effectuate transactions,” said Marisa Coppel, Head of Legal at the Blockchain Association. “Not only is this an infringement on the privacy rights of individuals using decentralized technology, but it would also push this entire, burgeoning technology offshore.”
