Researchers have developed an innovative technology in plasma spraying-physical vapor deposition known as alternating vapor/liquid phase deposition. By adjusting the arc current, researchers can ...

Nature features some of the most sophisticated, yet elegant and long-lasting mechanosensory systems. The materials and morphological form of these natural systems have evolved to perfection in ...

India, June 26 -- Researchers at Vilnius University are developing a biomimetic ceramic material with antibacterial ...

Historic stone buildings and sculptures are a very valuable and important part of the cultural heritage of any country. However, due to the weathering of the stone materials, the further preservation ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the complex network of proteins and sugars that provides structural and biochemical support for surrounding cells in the human body. This dynamic ...

The porous network formed by the vertical growth of flower-like LDH on the surface of MXene ingeniously mimics the natural structure of coral reefs. When this composite material is used as a stealth ...

Nature creates layered materials like bone and mother-of-pearl that become less sensitive to defects as they grow. Now researchers have created, using biomimetic proteins patterned on squid ring teeth ...

Lattices often crop up in nature. Take the conspicuous design of dragonfly wings (left), a spider web (middle) or the veined underbelly of a Victoria Amazonica water lily (right). Photo Credit: Getty ...
