Harnessing 3D microarchitecture of pterosaur bone using multi-scale X-ray CT for aerospace material design
Abstract Pterosaurs were the largest animals to have achieved powered flight in the history of life on Earth, possessing wingspans akin to some modern light aircraft. Vertebrate fossils have shown their potential to retain information on the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of precursor...
