Seknazi E, Kozachkevich S, Polishchuk I, Bianco Stein N, Villanova J, Suuronen J, et al.
Nat Commun . 2019 Oct; 10(1):4559. PMID: 31594921
As organisms can form crystals only under ambient conditions, they demonstrate fascinating strategies to overcome this limitation. Recently, we reported a previously unknown biostrategy for toughening brittle calcite crystals, using...

Polishchuk I, Bracha A, Bloch L, Levy D, Kozachkevich S, Etinger-Geller Y, et al.
Science . 2017 Dec; 358(6368):1294-1298. PMID: 29217569
In contrast to synthetic materials, materials produced by organisms are formed in ambient conditions and with a limited selection of elements. Nevertheless, living organisms reveal elegant strategies for achieving specific...

Koifman Khristosov M, Dishon S, Noi I, Katsman A, Pokroy B
Nanoscale . 2017 Sep; 9(38):14458-14466. PMID: 28926073
Nanoporous gold is widely used in research and nanotechnology because of its diverse properties, including high surface area and catalytic activity. The ligament size is usually considered as one of...

Koifman Khristosov M, Bloch L, Burghammer M, Kauffmann Y, Katsman A, Pokroy B
Nat Commun . 2015 Nov; 6:8841. PMID: 26554856
Single crystals in nature often demonstrate fascinating intricate porous morphologies rather than classical faceted surfaces. We attempt to grow such crystals, drawing inspiration from biogenic porous single crystals. Here we...

Koifman Khristosov M, Kabalah-Amitai L, Burghammer M, Katsman A, Pokroy B
ACS Nano . 2014 Apr; 8(5):4747-53. PMID: 24694217
Crystals in nature often demonstrate curved morphologies rather than classical faceted surfaces. Inspired by biogenic curved single crystals, we demonstrate that gold single crystals exhibiting curved surfaces can be grown...
