breakage

Many bones showed fresh fractures caused by blunt impacts soon after the elephant's death, indicating deliberate breakage.

They also serve as what is called "protective style", which means minimising the daily pulling and tugging on hair that can cause breakages.

Historically, cables in Taiwan, Vietnam and Egypt have all been vulnerable to breakage and sabotage.

Now, a new discovery by researchers at Tohoku University has offered insights into how glass resists breakage, potentially paving the way for highly durable, break-resistant materials.

Osteoporosis is a skeletal condition that leads to the weakening of bones, making them porous, fragile, and prone to breakage.
