We review experiments concerning the quantitative morphology of the fracture surfaces of various materials, at different length scales, using different techniques. These experiments could separate "universal" morphological parameters from material-dependent ones. We show how these results have been at the basis of theoretical developments on crack propagation and damage in heterogeneous materials.
