Diatom frustules as naturally occurring resonant microarchitectures: revealing vibrational eigenmodes across pennate and centric species
Chiara Gazzola, Dame Fall, Stefano Stassi +3
Diatom frustules, the hierarchically structured, species-specific silica exoskeletons of diatom microalgae, are among Nature's most sophisticated examples of bottom-up self-assembl…
