Electrospun submicrometer-sized poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) meshes and nanosized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as a template for preparing porous and interconnected inorganic organic hybrid materials ...

The eggshell of the hen is a highly ordered mineral structure deposited in an acellular milieu secreted by the distal parts of the oviduct; the isthmus and uterus. Spherulitic crystal growth is initiated by deposition of ...

We describe the features of magnonic crystals based upon antiferromagnetic elements. Our main results are that with a periodic modulation of either magnetic fields or system characteristics, such as the anisotropy, it is ...

Living organisms have evolved a vast diversity of mineralized structures through mechanisms that often are significantly different from those used by the materials engineer. These biomaterials often exhibit a fine-scale ...

Gastroliths are disc-shaped calcium storage structures cyclically elaborated by some decapods in their stomach wall. In the present study, we extracted the gastrolith organic matrix from three different decapods, two ...
