When you break a ruby, there is not much you can do to fix it. The same holds for a big crystal of salt or sugar. We developed a reliable method to weld together two fragments of a broken crystal to restore its properties. This might be relevant for those technolgies which rely on the use of crystalline materials to repair damaged devices.
