Dark carbon fixation in tropical-subtropical lagoon and bay regional intertidal sediments under the effect of vegetation: controlling factors and driving microorganisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Coastal blue carbon ecosystems dominated by mangroves, salt marshes and seagrass beds are conventionally recognized as major carbon sources. Dark carbon fixation (DCF) by sediment chemoautotrophs also substantially contributes to sediment organic carbon (

Microbial communities in dark oligotrophic volcanic ice cave ecosystems of Mt. Erebus, Antarctica

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The Earth’s crust hosts a subsurface, dark, and oligotrophic biosphere that is poorly understood in terms of the energy supporting its biomass production and impact on food webs at the Earth’s surface.

A Geometrically Transient Platform for Bioelectronic Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive bioelectronic implants often compromise performance for smaller sizes. To resolve this optimization dilemma, a wireless bioelectronic implant with a transient geometry is introduced (MiFi). The origami‐inspired device miniaturizes up to sixfold for syringe insertion and autonomously unfolds post‐implantation.

Diazotrophs: An Overlooked Sink of N2O

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The ocean is the second‐largest source of greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). However, its role as an N2O sink is severely overlooked. N2O fixation by diazotrophs has lately been proposed as a new pathway of N2O consumption.

Benthic nitrogen fixation in Zostera marina meadows in an upwelling-influenced coastal lagoon

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2017
Dinitrogen (N2) fixation rates were determined in the phyllosphere and in sediments with and without the presence of eelgrass (Zostera marina) in San Quintín Bay, an upwelling-influenced coastal lagoon in the NE Pacific.

Minor contribution of ammonia oxidizers to inorganic carbon fixation in the ocean

open access: yesNature Geoscience
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea are the most abundant chemolithoautotrophs in the ocean and are assumed to dominate carbon fixation below the sunlit surface layer.

From Fiber Bundles to Architected Membranes: Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Architectures for Biohybrid Artificial Lungs

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Additively manufactured triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) membranes offer an architecture‐driven alternative to hollow fiber bundles in artificial lungs. Multiphysics simulations and endothelialized prototypes show that the 3D‐printable membrane architecture improves gas exchange, blood flow distribution, and hemocompatibility, enabling ...

Elastomeric 3D‐Printed Microenvironments Enable Nanonewton Force Measurements in Healthy and Diseased Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Neuroepithelial Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...
