Negative post here - interesting research but shame on reuters / researcher for pretending this is biomimicry. The article does not say at all how the concrete has anything to do with lobster shells.
Further, rotating layers to change the bulk performance of materials composed of anisotropic plies is very old technology developed originally for aerospace / racing applications.
Ansys has an entire package devoted to the analysis of structures made from anisotropic materials in this way.
