Stable Sr isotope (88Sr/86Sr) fractionation in calcite precious corals
Stable isotope ratios of Sr (88Sr/86Sr) are a novel indicator for identifying terrestrial and oceanic Sr cycling and biological processes. Here we evaluate the temperature dependence of stable Sr isotope ratios (δ88Sr) in the calcite skeletons of ...

Environmental pH signals the release of monosaccharides from cell wall in coral symbiotic alga
Reef-building corals thrive in oligotrophic environments due to their possession of endosymbiotic algae. Confined to the low pH interior of the symbiosome within the cell, the algal symbiont provides the coral host with photosynthetically fixed carbon ...

3D‐Printed Architected Material for the Generation of Foam‐Based Protective Equipment
This study investigates 3D‐printed architected structures as alternatives to traditional foams in protective gear. It focuses on customizing impact strength and damping through design and manufacturing integration. Testing shows these structures outperform conventional foams, offering enhanced customizability, lower weight, and tunable performance ...
