Episode Synopsis "Expanding Material Property Space Using Bioinspiration and Architecture"

Here I will discuss how we are using new fabrication strategies (three-dimensional laser engraving, 3D printing) to create architectured / bio-inspired materials with highly unusual combinations of properties: High stiffness and high toughness in nacre-like glasses and ceramics, hardness and flexural compliance in fish scale-inspired protective skins.
