Some mollusc shells are formed from an amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) compound,
which further transforms into a crystalline material. The transformation mechanism is not fully …

Calcite prismatic units that form the outer layers of “nacro-prismatic” Pelecypod shells are
often used as biomineralization models due to their individual size, simple shape, and …

Understanding biomineralization relies on imaging chemically heterogeneous organic–
inorganic interfaces across a hierarchy of spatial scales. Further, organic minority phases …

Miniscrew implants (MSIs) have been widely used as temporary anchorage devices in
orthodontic clinics. However, one of their major limitations is the relatively high failure rate …

Intracellular biosynthetic nanomaterials offer tremendous opportunities for chemical
biomedical imaging. A wide range of biologically active tissues are available for …

Biological materials have outstanding properties. With ease, challenging mechanical, optical
or electrical properties are realised from comparativelyhumble'building blocks. The key …

Tomographic diffractive microscopy (TDM) based on scalar light-field approximation is
widely implemented. Samples exhibiting anisotropic structures, however, necessitate …

Wearable and bicontinuous Ag-doped poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly
(styrenesulfonate)/MnO 2/carbon fabric was manufactured in a facile, eco-friendly, and …

In living organisms, calcium carbonate biomineralization combines complex bio-controlled
physical and chemical processes to produce crystalline hierarchical hard tissues (usually …

The problem of imaging materials with circular-polarization properties is discussed within
the framework of vectorial ptychography. We demonstrate, both theoretically and …
