Supervariate Gel Transforms into Various Biominerals in Salt Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.It is revealed that common calcium‐based biominerals can form from a stable, non‐toxic ‘supervariate’ gel. This tunable gel selectively yields calcite or hydroxyapatite in carbonate/phosphate solutions, while CaCl₂ facilitates the formation of dihydrate calcium pyrophosphate, which converts to hydroxyapatite upon drying. These findings provide insights

Context-Matched Collage Generation for Underwater Invertebrate Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The quality and size of training sets often limit the performance of many state of the art object detectors. However, in many scenarios, it can be difficult to collect images for training, not to mention the costs associated with collecting annotations suitable for training these object detectors.

A new substrate for sampling deep river macroinvertebrates [PDF]
, 2009 We compared macroinvertebrate communities colonising multiplate samplers constructed from perspex or tempered hardboard (wood) with an alternative artificial substrate constructed from folded coconut fibre matting (coir) enclosed in nylon netting ...

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

A model of replicating coupled oscillators generates naturally occurring cell networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 When a founder cell and its progeny divide with incomplete cytokinesis, a network forms in which each intercellular bridge corresponds to a past mitotic event. Networks built in this manner are required for gamete production in many animals, and different species have evolved very different final network topologies.

Bio-inspired design of ice-retardant devices based on benthic marine invertebrates: the effect of surface texture [PDF]
PeerJ 2:e588 2014, 2014 Growth of ice on surfaces poses a challenge for both organisms and for devices that come into contact with liquids below the freezing point. Resistance of some organisms to ice formation and growth, either in subtidal environments (e.g. Antarctic anchor ice), or in environments with moisture and cold air (e.g.

New Perspectives on Semiconducting Conjugated Oligomers for Neuromodulation in Hydra vulgaris
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Semiconducting organic compounds, thiophene‐based, modify the rhythmic electrical activity of the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris acting on specific neuronal circuits. The ETE‐S trimer also forms electronically conducting wires in the living tissues of the animal.
