Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an important inorganic mineral in biological and geological
systems. Traditionally, it is widely used in plastics, papermaking, ink, building materials …

Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to their surrounding environment. These polymers are
capable of responding to a variety of external stimuli, which include optical, electrical …

A biomimetic (titin protein molecular structure) strategy is reported for preparing transparent
and healable elastomers featuring supertoughness (345 MJ m− 3) and high tensile strength …

Although biomimetic designs are expected to play a key role in exploring future structural
materials, facile fabrication of bulk biomimetic materials under ambient conditions remains a …

Glass has outstanding optical properties, hardness, and durability, but its applications are
limited by its inherent brittleness and poor impact resistance. Lamination and tempering can …

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) emerge as a renewable and sustainable feedstock for future
biobased high-performance materials with environmentally friendly character. They allow for …

Humans operate with a “theory of mind” with which they are able to understand that others'
actions are driven not by reality but by beliefs about reality, even when those beliefs are …

Biomineralization is an important tactic by which biological organisms produce hierarchically
structured minerals with marvellous functions. Biomineralization studies typically focus on …

A generic, facile, and waterborne strategy is introduced to fabricate flexible, low‐cost
nanocomposite films with room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) by incorporating …

The extraordinary properties of biological materials often result from their sophisticated
hierarchical structures. Through multilevel and cross-scale structural designs, biological …
