| Description | Journal: Physics World Fracture plays a ubiquitous role in our lives, from everyday annoyances like dropping a glass to catastrophes such as the break-up of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in 1986. Cracks can occur on scales from kilometres down to nanometres: we observe them in earthquakes, buildings, aeroplane wings and semiconductor-metal contacts. On the one hand, cracks are responsible for the vast economic costs of material failure; on the other hand, the controlled breaking of materials is fundamental for the processing of mineral ores. |
