TL;DR: Structural and mechanical characterization shows "brick-and-mortar" structures, akin to nacre, with interesting combinations of strength, stiffness, and work of fracture, which provide a pathway to making strong and tough lightweight materials.

TL;DR: It is shown that TGF-β regulates PLR in a cell-intrinsic manner to control bone quality and emphasized that osteocytes are key in executing the biological control of bone quality through PLR, thereby highlighting the fundamental role of osteocyte-mediatedPLR in bone homeostasis and fragility.

TL;DR: Investigation of the endocarp of the fruit of Cocos nucifera found structural changes gave a denser and mechanically superior micro and nanostructure to the old coconut shell, which affected both crack initiation during uniaxial tensile tests and the toughening mechanisms of crack trapping and deflection during crack propagation.

TL;DR: The presence, nature, and impact of chemical short-range order in the multi-principal element alloy CrCoNi are all topics of current interest and debate.

TL;DR: In this paper , the fracture toughness of CrCoNi-based medium and high-entropy alloys was examined at 20 kelvin (K) and they showed that these alloys develop fracture resistance through a progressive synergy of deformation mechanisms, dislocation glide, stacking-fault formation, nanotwinning, and phase transformation.
