Good observation. It is difficult to actually tell what they are after, except that the metal is settling into a lower energy state. You can see electron photographs of moving inclined boundries, even to the outside surface of the copper foil. Sometimes you can make faults this way, but I suspect that in time you get the best overall electron flow, especially with electric current flowing through the sample, like we do when we 'break in' a cable. The main point here is that the grain boundries move at room temperature. Did you know that?
