The image depicts a glowing blue hexagonal crystal structure with one side perfectly intact and the other side fracturing yet seemingly self-healing. This visualization represents Dr. Panče Naumov and his NYU Abu Dhabi research team's groundbreaking discovery of self-healing crystals—challenging traditional views of crystals as merely rigid and brittle materials. Small light particles emanate from the healing zones, illustrating this remarkable scientific breakthrough.
