Composite materials made up of inorganic and biological matter present remarkable properties including fracture resistance, toughness and strength. A team of scientists of the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies has been investigating the mechanical properties of nacre, a material that possesses great stability due to its elaborate hierarchical nanostructures.
