Researchers at Drexel University discovered that nonelastic simple fluids, such as hydrogen and carbon blends, can fracture under stress, challenging traditional understanding of liquid fracture mechanics.

• Thamires Lima and Nicolas J. Alvarez conducted experiments on a nonelastic simple fluid that unexpectedly fractured under stress.
• The researchers observed the phenomenon using high-speed cameras, identifying it as a brittle fracture similar to those seen in solids like glass or porcelain.
• This finding challenges the traditional theory that elasticity is necessary for liquid fracture, suggesting that cohesive energy might be related to the breaking point of certain liquids.
