Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Utilizing the Metastability of Spidroins as a Strategy for Improving Mechanical Properties of Biomimetic Spider Silk Fibers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...
