Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Chelsea Fox, Kyle Chen, Micaela Antonini, Tommaso Magrini, Chiara Daraio | Summary: As a result of evolution, many biological materials have developed irregular structures that lead to outstanding mechanical properties, like high stiffness-to-weight ratios and good energy absorption. To reproduce these properties in synthetic materials, biomimicry typically […]
