Bend, Twist and Break: Beyond the Laboratory
Dr. Chris Muhlstein explains that when scientists study fracture surfaces from controlled experiments to understand the resulting shapes and features, they can use their understanding to deduce what happened when they were not around to see the material fail or break.

This process is how scientists and engineers translate a lab experiment into a design for an airplane, bridge or even a bike frame.
