Revealing the static and dynamic nanomechanical properties of diatom frustules—Nature's glass lace
Abstract Diatoms are single cell microalgae enclosed in silica exoskeletons (frustules) that provide inspiration for advanced hybrid nanostructure designs mimicking multi-scale porosity to achieve outstanding mechanical and optical properties. Interrogating the structure and properties of diatoms do...
