A photograph of the fracture surface in a silicone model, across both fracture planes, shows that the crack profile has a certain curvature

Secrets, cracks and fractures

It turns out that the shorter a crack in brittle materials - the more resistant they are to it, which can help in the design and use of applications that are based on brittle materials

Dr. Lonnie Johnson, an inventor who registered over 100 patents and developed a solid-state battery based on them, describes human evolution as an interactive process between biology and technology, in which each influences and is influenced by its own

Carl Sagan discovered life on Earth 30 years ago - how his experiment helps us look for alien species today

It has been 30 years since a group of scientists led by Carl Sagan found evidence of life on Earth using data from instruments aboard NASA's Galileo space probe and only combining instruments while ignoring existing knowledge made this possible

Salvina leaves examined in the new study. The research deals with the ability of different plants to absorb oils from the starting point that as long as humanity consumes oil for a variety of uses, we are exposed to threats of oil stains as a result of accidents in the processes of oil exploration, transportation, storage and of course its utilization.
