The toughening mechanisms that make the diabolical ironclad beetle extremely resistant to crushing have been uncovered by researchers in the US and Japan. David Kisailus at the University of California, Riverside and colleagues found that interlocking sutures in the exoskeletons of the insects allowed them to stiffen when under…
