Super happy for our latest publication on freezing, showing how freezing and drying break wet materials in the same way. Great work from Shaohua Yang and Dominic Gerber: https://t.co/3ykPkDquoH

Freezing dehydrates brittle, wet materials and causes damage via the same mechanism that underlies mud cracking.
