The ecophysiology of multicellular cable bacteria: insights from single cell imaging techniques
Cable bacteria form centimeter-long, multicellular filaments than can consist of ten thousands of cells. They evolved a unique energy metabolism that involves co-operation among cells that separately perform oxidation of the electron donor (sulfide, H2S) and reduction of the electron acceptor (oxygen, O2). This division of labor is facilitated via long-

Electronic Chip‐Mimetic Medical Implants for Controllable Sonothermal Treatments
Inspired by the thermal effect of working electronic chips, which consist of various heterostructures, an sonothermal‐responsive platform has been developed through constructing metal‐semiconductor interface on implants. Biofilm infection and deep vein thrombosis can be successfully treated by controllable ultrasound treatments.

From Sensing Mechanisms to System Co‐Design: Graphene‐Based Sensors and Readout Circuits
This review establishes a unified PS–EQ–RF framework linking graphene sensing mechanisms, native electrical outputs, and output‐specific readout circuits. Voltage‐, current‐, resistance‐, and capacitance‐type sensing systems are systematically classified to guide architecture selection, low‐noise design, system co‐design, and practical integration ...

Potential impacts of cable bacteria activity on hard-shelled benthic foraminifera: implications for their interpretation as bioindicators or paleoproxies [PDF]
Hard-shelled foraminifera are protists able to build a calcareous or agglutinated shell (called a “test”). Here we study the impact of sediment acidification on calcareous test preservation.

Cable bacteria, living electrical conduits in the microbial world [PDF]
Microorganisms spend their lives searching for chemical reactants that yield metabolically usable energy, one reactant providing electrons and the other accepting them in a redox reaction. In PNAS, Kjeldsen et al. (1) provide a comprehensive genomic and physiological analysis of bacteria that have evolved an ingenious solution to the persistent problem
