a new mathematical model describes the fracture process for materials such as glass, polymers, concrete, ceramics, metals, rocks, and even certain geological fractures. The simulation model is powerful enough to predict and describe crack patterns in structures ranging in size from the microscopic to others as large as certain geological faults.

The precise conditions inside a white dwarf star in the hours leading up to its explosive end as a Type Ia supernova are one of the mysteries confronting astrophysicists studying these massive stellar explosions. Now astrophysicists and mathematicians have created the first full-star simulation of the hours preceding the largest thermonuclear explosions in the universe.
