Mapping the forming narwhal tusk by large volume multiscale X-ray imaging ...
Narwhals are unique and poorly understood animals. Their tusk has a spiral macrostructure with highly anisotropic mechanical properties. The formation of the chiral tusk is not understood and the origin of this amazing biological structure thus remains elusive. Therefore, we propose to conduct high...
