Protection mechanisms of the iron-plated armor of a deep sea hydrothermal vent gastropod
Biological exoskeletons, in particular those with unusually robust and multifunctional properties, hold enormous potential for the development of improved load-bearing and protective engineering materials. Here, we report new materials and mechanical design principles of the iron-plated multilayered...
