3D calcite heterostructures for dynamic and deformable mineralized matrices

3D calcite heterostructures for dynamic and deformable mineralized matrices

Minerals are rarely explored as building blocks for dynamic inorganic materials. Here, the authors derive inspiration from fish scales to create mutable surfaces based on arrays of calcite crystals, in which one end of each crystal is immobilized in and regenerated from silicone, and the other funct...
