It is widely known that the availability of lightweight structures with excellent energy
absorption capacity is essential for numerous engineering applications. Inspired by many …

Biological materials found in Nature such as nacre and bone are well recognized as light‐
weight, strong, and tough structural materials. The remarkable toughness and damage …

Bone biomaterials play a vital role in bone repair by providing the necessary substrate for
cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation and by modulating cell activity and function. In …

The research of functional magnetic materials has become a hot topic in the past few years
due to their fast, long‐range, and precise response in diverse environments. Functional …

Living organisms have ingeniously evolved functional gradients and heterogeneities to
create high-performance biological materials from a fairly limited choice of elements and …

This study proposes novel bio-inspired fractal multi-cell circular (BFMC) tubes for energy
absorption. The inner structures of the proposed BFMC tubes were constructed based on the …

Bio-inspired thin-walled structures have gained growing interests attributed to their excellent
performance of energy absorption and lightweight. This study proposes a novel energy …

A ubiquitous biological material, keratin represents a group of insoluble, usually high-sulfur
content and filament-forming proteins, constituting the bulk of epidermal appendages such …

Nature provides examples of resilient materials and structures with optimised morphologies
and topologies to achieve excellent mechanical and structural properties and sustainable …

Nature has a wide range of biological protection strategies that show resilience to impact
loading. These strategies also serve a certain amount of flexibility that contribute to body …
