The only interesting part seems to be that it resembles bone and "repair" can be called "healing" instead.
>While this room-temperature approach is not truly "self-healing" because it requires an external power source and raw materials, Pikul sees it being in line with how self-healing occurs in the body.
- AstralStorm 7y agoThe interesting part is that the process is not fusing the structure and keeps it, mostly intact. Normal electroplating would fuse the surfaces with a layer of metal, rather than keeping the foam structure. The problem here would be repairing big breaks though. Plus maybe working with metals that do not readily work in electroplating bath, like aluminium.
