A Respiratory Assessment of the Biological Carbon Pump Reveals overlooked Carbon Fluxes
Abstract Current assessments of the Biological Carbon Pump (BCP), a key regulator of Earth’s climate that transfers photosynthetically fixed carbon from the ocean surface to the interior, largely rely on estimates of the depth-dependent attenuation of particulate and dissolved organic carbon fluxes. Yet, this approach

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.
