Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids
Interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with cell membrane is a crucial issue in studying drug delivery, photodynamic therapy system and cytotoxicity. Single NP with relatively small size cannot be fully…

TLDR
The robust design of optimal adhesion at nanoscale provides a plausible explanation for the convergent evolution of hairy attachment systems in biology.
Mechanics of robust and releasable adhesion in biology: bottom-up designed hierarchical structures of gecko.
Weakening mechanisms of the serpulid tube in a high-CO2 world.
TLDR
The FEA results demonstrated how a simulated predator attack may affect the structure with different structural and mechanical properties and consequently shift the stress development and distribution in the tubes, causing a more concentrated stress distribution and therefore leading to a lower ability to withstand attacks.

TLDR
New materials and mechanical design principles of the iron-plated multilayered structure of the natural armor of Crysomallon squamiferum, a recently discovered gastropod mollusc from the Kairei Indian hydrothermal vent field, are reported, which is unlike any other known natural or synthetic engineered armor.
Size-dependent heterogeneity benefits the mechanical performance of bone
Multi-scale cohesive laws in hierarchical materials
Bio-inspired interfacial strengthening strategy through geometrically interlocking designs.
Optimal shapes for adhesive binding between two elastic bodies.
