About 800 papers published in international journals, international volumes, international or national conference proceedings on Structural-, Solid-, Fracture- Bio- and especially Nano-Mechanics. About 400 papers published in int. journals in solid and structural mechanics (including Nature and Nature materials), some of them selected as best paper of the year (e.g. by the Institute of Physics), or highlighted (e.g. by Nature) and discussed (e.g. by New Scientist) by top journals, or covered by national and international televisions, radios and dailies (e.g. The Times, BBC News, Discovery Channel). About 400 papers presented at international conferences, often presented as top speaker-, plenary-, key- or invited- lectures (e.g. 5 Plenary Lectures in 2012, including the first Italian one at Falling Walls 2012).
