Scientists could eventually help create materials that resist breaking or crack in a predictable fashion. The findings were the result of experiments and computer simulations in which researchers examined the effects of varying the rigidity of a material. Using both a simulation and artificial structures called metamaterials, they found material failure can be continuously tuned through changes in its underlying rigidity.
