Abstract:Joining heterogeneous materials in engineered structures remains a daunting challenge because of stress concentration, often resulting in unexpected failures1,2. Studying the structures in organisms that evolved for centuries provides valuable insights that can be instrumental in addressing this mechanical challenge3–5. The human meniscus root-bone interface is a remarkable example known for its exceptional fatigue resistance, toughness and interfacial adhesion properties throughout its lifespan6–8. We studied… Show more
