A team of researchers wondered how the shellfish's fingernail-thick armor could survive multiple blows while remaining transparent, a feat unmatched by humanmade materials.
In this review we discuss recent progress in how DNA has brought unmatched function to materials, focusing specifically on new advances in delivery agents, devices, and sensors.
Nacre from mollusk shells is 3,000 times tougher than the brittle mineral it is made of, a level of toughness amplification currently unmatched by any engineering material.
This performance is unmatched in most synthetic materials, where even small cracks can lead to a reduction of the strength by orders of magnitudes.
WORKING with natural stone can be a rewarding experience because a project finished in stone has a rustic charm that is unmatched in any other building material.
He was a masterbuilder with an unmatched feel for spaces and materials, but also a natural showman who fashioned a largely mythical personage that it is all too easy to be misled by.Le Corbusier began publishing a comprehensive record of his work in sketches, designs and photographs when still in his 40s.
The boundary layers coating articular cartilage in synovial joints constitute unique biomaterials, providing lubricity at levels unmatched by any human-made materials.
These fitting parameters can be used to quantify the GVD and TOD of the system [ 30], although it is important to note that the parameters were optimized to correct dispersion-like effects of coherence revival as well as true material dispersion due to unmatched optics and fiber lengths between the sample and reference arm.
In terms of the assignment at the phylum level, Firmicutes (52.79%) and Bacteroidetes (41.57%) were predominant in the gut bacteria of mice, followed by Tenericutes (3%), Actinobacteria (0.18%), Cyanobacteria (0.023%), and Proteobacteria (0.0042%), with 2.41% sequences unmatched with the database (see Supplemental Material, Figure S2B).
All of these insights are a testament to glacial storage, which can preserve organic material — wood, fabric, tissue — with unmatched fidelity.
