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 …

Horns are used by Bovidae animals for intraspecific combat; as such they are among
Nature's toughest materials that require resistance to extreme loads. As a typical subfamily …

Researchers and engineers have been fascinated by the way weak organic and inorganic
components naturally combine to create strong and long-lasting structures for the past few …

Eight structural elements in biological materials are identified as the most common amongst
a variety of animal taxa. These are proposed as a new paradigm in the field of biological …
