Piezoelectricity in native bones has been well recognized as the key factor in bone
regeneration. Thus, bio-piezoelectric materials have gained substantial attention in repairing …

Hydrogels are crosslinked polymer networks swollen with water. Owing to their soft and
water-containing nature, hydrogels are promising materials for applications in many fields …

Inspired by natural materials, hierarchical architected materials can achieve enhanced
properties including achieving tailored mechanical responses. However, the design space …

Throughout billions of years, biological systems have evolved sophisticated, multiscale
hierarchical structures to adapt to changing environments. Biomaterials are synthesized …

In this work, we show how the kinetics of molecular self-assembly can be coupled with the
kinetics of the colloidal self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles, which in turn drives the …

One possible solution against the accumulation of petrochemical plastics in natural
environments is to develop biodegradable plastic substitutes using natural components …

Spider webs are incredible biological structures, comprising thin but strong silk filament and
arranged into complex hierarchical architectures with striking mechanical properties (eg …

Architected materials can achieve enhanced properties compared to their plain
counterparts. Specific architecting serves as a powerful design lever to achieve targeted …

The study of biological materials and bio‐inspired materials science is well established;
however, surprisingly little knowledge is systematically translated to engineering solutions …

Abstract Mechanical Metamaterials (MMs) are artificially designed structures with
extraordinary properties that are dependent on micro architectures and spatial tessellations …
