What does it mean to be at the forefront of a characterization technique? Novel
implementation and research, finding new ways to visualize composites, and new …

Nature successfully employs inorganic solid-state materials (ie, biominerals) and
hierarchical composites as sensing elements, weapons, tools, and shelters. Optimized over …

The study of chemistry at the interface with other disciplines, such as biology, physics,

This tutorial review provides an overview of bio-directed synthesis of nanomaterials, starting
with the foundation of biomineralization research—how organisms are able to biomineralize …

The systematic fabrication of organized materials will require the 'synthesis-with-
construction'of architectures over scales ranging from the molecular to the macroscopic. This …

With this book, the author successfully bridges the gap between traditional inorganic
chemistry textbooks and the primary literature in biomineralization research. While those …

The impetus for a biomimetic approach to mineralization stems from the need for
increasingly sophisticated materials showing greater efficiency, specialization, and …

Biomimetic mineralization is a powerful approach for the synthesis of advanced materials
with complex shape, hierarchical organization and controlled size, shape and polymorph …

Biomineralization refers to a native biosynthesis process whereby the organisms fabricate
hierarchical organic-inorganic composites for life maintenance, growth, and biological …
