- The ultrastructure of inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials such as bone, polymers or wood could not be studied in 3D, even though pivotal to understand and control their mechanical properties. Through international academic collaboration (PI:Schneider@Southampton;ETH Zurich; Paul Scherrer Institute) we developed this novel imaging method, which led to a fully non-destructive method to assess the ultrastructure of biological and other complex materials in 3D, which we published in Nature (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature16056). It is recognised in a special Nature letter (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/527308a) by Peter Fratzl, Chair of the Chemistry-Physics-Engineering Section of the Max Planck Society, as an “important tool for the analysis of bone”.
