The results will help researchers understand phenomena like seismic ruptures and structural failures by understanding how quickly they move.
In the realm of material science, understanding the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability has been a quest that has spanned decades.
Take the case of metals; they are strong and workable because of something known as linear flaws or dislocations. But they can also cause materials to break catastrophically, as happens every time you snap the pull tab off a Coke can.
