Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Miniature Robotic Swimmer with Precise 2D Motion Control via Acoustic Vortex‐Induced Propulsion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, a miniature robotic swimmer achieves precise 2D motion using sound waves with customized 3D‐printed lenses. Localized acoustic vortices drive both translation and rotation of the swimmer without mechanical parts. This contactless approach offers a novel route to controlled micro‐scale movement, with promising applications in biomedical ...

The recent decline of Montastraea annularis (complex) coral populations in western Curaçao: a cause for concern?

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2006
Shallow leeward reefs off the western end of Curaçao are dominated by extensive populations of M. annularis (complex). These species are larger in size (mean= 66 cm diameter) than all other species, with few small colonies (10 cm observed within ...

Comparative analysis of conventional and unconventional thermal insulation materials for building construction

open access: yesESTOA: Revista de la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Cuenca
Nowadays, efforts are underway to minimize the negative environmental impact of the construction industry, which results from the use of non-renewable raw materials and the high energy consumption associated with their production. The primary strategy to
