Once you crush, cut or fracture a rock, there are no do-overs. It's a fact that means geoscientists have to be particularly careful about which rock samples they can sacrifice to physics experiments versus which ones should stay on the shelf. A team of geoscience researchers is working to change that with a new method for creating digital replicas of rock samples that is more accurate and simpler to use than other techniques.
