Summary
Scientists studied the giant pink queen conch’s shell and found a highly resilient composite structure made from aragonite and protein. Its layered architecture disperses stress into many tiny cracks, making it far more fracture-resistant than ordinary aragonite. Researchers hope to apply these principles to stronger materials, bridges, and spacecraft. Image: Researcher holding juvenile queen conch, Jennifer Doerr, NOAA SEFSC Galveston, PD, Wikimedia Commons.
