Coral-Inspired Material Could Transform Bone Repair

University of Illinois evolution, ecology and behavior professor Philip Anderson, pictured, and his colleague Bingying Zhang found that thin animal skin significantly dissipates the energy of a puncturing projectile. In their experiments, skin worked better than a thicker synthetic gel designed to mimic skin.
