A tough soft–hard interface in the human knee joint driven by multiscale toughening mechanisms

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 4, January 2025.
SignificanceJoining dissimilar materials presents significant challenges due to stress concentrations that often result in failures. The meniscus root–bone interface in the human knee joint is a model of exceptional fatigue resistance, toughness, and …
