Science Magazine - One Issue Dual-Scale Lattice. Robust, damage-tolerant starfish skeletons Science and social media Robots that go to school for kids who can't Seeking caloric restriction benefits without the hunger Pages 585-692 Cover: A rtificially colored scanning electron micrograph of a knobby starfish (Protoreaster nodosus) skeletal element with small calcite crystals grown on its surface. This overgrowth experiment demonstrates this biomineralized structure’s two single-crystalline components—a micrometer-scale periodic lattice and the underlying atomic-scale calcite—that are aligned by their crystal symmetry. This lightweight dual-scale structure exhibits high mechanical efficiency and damage tolerance for enhanced protection. See pages 615 and 647.
