science Researchers found a way to reduce the catastrophic brittleness of strong glasses using self-propelled particles. This study was conducted by Rashmi Priya and Smarajit Karmakar from TIFR, Hyderabad, with Jürgen Horbach from HHU, Düsseldorf. The theoretical framework details that doping with active particles transforms the failure from a single plane to a spread-out network. This activity allows the material to bear higher stress, making it significantly stronger than its original state. Next, the team plans to test these computational predictions in a laboratory setting. 🔬
