Revealing the static and dynamic nanomechanical properties of diatom frustules—nature`s glass lace

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Julijana Cvjetinovic from the Center for PhotonicNational University have published the research work: Revealing the static and dynamic nanomechanical properties of diatom frustulesu2014Nature`s glass lace, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: Two different AFM modes used in this study are schematically illustrated in Fig 1d, whilst in situ nanoindentation in the SEM column is shown in Fig 1e. By fitting the model to experimental observations, the membrane flexural rigidity can be used to determine the overall apparent Young`s modulus of the diatom valve as a circular membrane.
