Marine Skeletons: Towards Hard Tissue Repair and Regeneration
Marine Drugs, 2018 Musculoskeletal disorders in the elderly have significantly increased due to the increase in an ageing population. The treatment of these diseases necessitates surgical procedures, including total joint replacements such as hip and knee joints.

Under the sea: Pulsing corals in ambient flow
, 2017 While many organisms filter feed and exchange heat or nutrients in flow, few benthic organisms also actively pulse to enhance feeding and exchange. One example is the pulsing soft coral (Heteroxenia fuscescens).

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A programmable 2048‐element circular ultrasound array combined with a compact acoustic lens produces a thin “sound sheet” over a large field of view, and records echoes with wide angular diversity across the ring aperture. Coherence‐enhanced beamforming converts full‐matrix data into high‐contrast tomographic slices, delivering near‐diffraction‐limited

Transitions in coral reef accretion rates linked to intrinsic ecological shifts on turbid-zone nearshore reefs [PDF]
, 2016 Nearshore coral communities within turbid settings are typically perceived to have limited reef-building capacity. However, several recent studies have reported reef growth over millennial time scales within such environments and have hypothesized that ...

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Liquid Bismuth Catalyst Enables High‐CO‐Selectivity in CO2 Hydrogenation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work introduces a dynamic liquid bismuth catalyst for efficient CO2‐to‐syngas conversion. Stabilized molten Bi nanodroplets on a defective VOx support enable a reversible Bi3+/Bi0 redox cycle at moderate temperatures. Mechanistic insights reveal that Ni‐Bi dual sites synergistically activate H2 and cleave CO2, leading to high CO selectivity ...

Effect of fine-scale habitat differences on algal colonisation in a coral-dominated subtropical reef
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Maintaining the coexistence of algae and corals depends on the interactions between them. We investigated these interactions to assess: (1) recruitment patterns of algal turfs over time in dead areas on live corals; (2) the influence of fine-scale ...
