French scientists’ law predicts how objects shatter, applies from bottles to bubbles
SMRTR summary
French scientist Emmanuel Villermaux has developed a universal law that predicts how objects break into fragments by combining principles of maximal randomness with physical conservation laws. The breakthrough explains why shattered materials from glass bottles to soap bubbles consistently produce similar size distributions despite appearing chaotic, offering a unified framework for understanding fragmentation across different materials and contexts.
