Nano-Architecture in Nature: Teeth Without Minerals
The unmineralized teeth of the giant keyhole limpet are shown to have mechanical properties similar to those of mineralized mammalian bones.
Battery-Level Energy Density with Carbon Nanotube/Graphene Sponges
Assembling two types of carbon nanostructures with non-covalent interactions gives an electrode material with enhanced energy density.

Essential But Toxic – Copper Homeostasis
Humans are rich in copper. And so are all other living organisms. But copper is toxic, therefore, it has to be kept at bay to counteract its cytotoxic effects in live cells – how do we stay healthy?
Precision Functionalisation of Polymeric Microparticles
The NITEC reaction is explored with tetrazole-functionalised microparticles, and demonstrates micrometer-scale resolution as a surface-patterning technique.
Cell-Material Interactions at High Throughput
TopoWellPlate, a 96-well plate based material topography library, enables mechanistic studies on cell-material interactions using standard molecular methods.
Unexpected Polymer Degradation Mechanisms
Canadian authors show that primary amines are not essential for imidization decomposition reactions.
Supportive Soft Tissue Manufacture
A manufacturing method is unveiled that uses a supportive material that is self-healing, and enables the production of soft materials in a supported and suspended manner.
Advanced Structural Materials by Bioinspiration
Biological composites are reviewed, such as bone, teeth, and nacre, along with a description of their structure, chemistry and mechanics, and a detailed analysis of the fundamental design motifs of natural materials.
