Rice University researchers surprised to see twin-induced brittle-like fractures in gold nanowires.
Arthur pulled a sword from a stone, proving to a kingdom that right beats might. Researchers at Rice University are making the same point in the nanoscale realm.

- Nanowires Weld Themselves Without Heat
Welding uses heat to join pieces of metal in everything from circuits to skyscrapers. But researchers have found a way to beat the heat on the nanoscale. Jun Lou, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, is quoted. Yang Lu, a graduate student in mechanical engineering and materials science, is mentioned.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Welding uses heat to join pieces of metal in everything from circuits to skyscrapers. But Rice University researchers have found a way to beat the heat on the nanoscale.
Scientists have discovered that gold nanowires have the ability to cold weld themselves together without the need for heat.
