The impressive mechanical properties of natural composites, such as nacre, arise from their multiscale hierarchical structures, which span from nano‐ to macroscale and lead to effective energy dissipation. While some synthetic bioinspired materials have achieved the toughness of natural nacre, current production methods are complex and typically involve toxic chemicals, extreme temperatures, and/or...
In article number 1805312, Marie‐Eve Aubin‐Tam, Anne S. Meyer, and co‐workers use bacteria to produce nacre‐inspired composite materials that exhibit high toughness and stiffness, along with impressive extensibility. The extensive diversity of bacterial metabolic abilities and the possibility of genetic engineering will allow for creating a library of cost‐effective, eco‐friendly composite materials...
