3D imaging finds link between crack complexity and material toughness
The scientists induced cracks in hydrogel samples with a standard Swiss Army knife (image: EMSI EPFL CC BY SA)
To determine complex crack patterns in real time, a series of fluorescent images was generated with a confocal microscope, and then stacked to assemble a unique, three-dimensional map of each fracture surface
