Metal Coordination‐Mediated Functional Grading and Self‐Healing in Mussel Byssus Cuticle (open access)

Metal Coordination‐Mediated Functional Grading and Self‐Healing in Mussel Byssus Cuticle

Article demonstrates direct evidence of Fe3+ and Fe2+ gradient distribution across mussel byssal cuticle threads thickness, which shows more Fe2+ inside the inner cuticle, to support the hypothesis that the cuticle is a functionally graded material with high stiffness, extensibility, and self‐healing capacity.

Revisiting (Some of) the Lasting Impacts of the Liberty Ships via a Metallurgical Analysis of Rivets from the SS "John W. Brown" (open access)

Revisiting (Some of) the Lasting Impacts of the Liberty Ships via a Metallurgical Analysis of Rivets from the SS "John W. Brown"

This article examines a rivet from the SS "John W. Brown", which was assembled in Baltimore, Maryland, and launched in September 1942. Classical metallurgical analysis of a rivet from the original 1942 vessel is compared with modern rivets used during its restoration.
