Time-lapse three-dimensional imaging of crack propagation in beetle cuticle

[Display omitted] Arthropod cuticle has extraordinary properties. It is very stiff and tough whilst being lightweight, yet it is made of rather ordinary constituents. This desirable combination of properties results from a hierarchical structure, but we currently have a poor understanding of how thi...
