Whether in a heavy elephant or an accelerating cheetah, the performance of bone is equally superior due to its high strength and toughness. Interweaving mineral and protein form continuous networks to provide the strength essential for functional bones.
Ever picked up an old wooden tennis racquet or leather football and noticed how heavy they are, or how rough the material is? And then wondered how athletes weren’t constantly injured as they used them? Sporting equipment has changed dramatically in ...

We reproduced this confinement using microfabrication techniques," explains Pascal Silberzan. These in vitro models allow to confine a set of elongated cells in tracks whose width varies from a cellular size to more than one millimeter. In collaboration ...
This sort of patterning technique is extremely slow for microfabrication at present, Kim acknowledged. However, scientists could use it to develop a platform for testing electronic and microelectromechanical devices with properties at the Angstrom or ...
