Nanoscale assembly processes revealed in the nacroprismatic transition zone of Pinna nobilis mollusc shells

Intricate biomineralization processes in molluscs engineer hierarchical structures with meso-, nano- and atomic architectures that give the final composite material exceptional mechanical strength and optical iridescence on the macroscale. This multiscale biological assembly inspires new synthetic r...
