Structural hierarchies define toughness and defect-tolerance despite simple and mechanically inferior brittle building blocks
Mineralized biological materials such as bone, sea sponges or diatoms provide load-bearing and armor functions and universally feature structural hierarchies from nano to macro. Here we report a systematic investigation of the effect of hierarchical structures on toughness and defect-tolerance based...
