Two Pieces of Carbology

Lyman Laboratory at Harvard University. Two pieces of carbology inserted in heat-treated steel which have been pushed together with an intensity of stress of 400,000 Kg/cm squared on their area of contact. The radial cracks were produced on release of pressure., Credit Line: Harvard University, courtesy AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives
