Impossible worlds originating from dung: from Italo Calvino’s Bersabea to Galileo Galilei’s Medusa

Between, 2019
L’immagine di Bersabea (Le città invisibili) oscilla attorno alla contrapposizione fra i materiali più pregiati e quelli più vili. Se Calvino si confronta con una tradizione di pensiero ‘antagonista’, l’evoluzione concettuale della coppia antonimica ...

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Distributions of Rhizostoma pulmo (Macri, 1778) between the Kızılırmak and the Yeşilırmak coast of the Black Sea, Türkiye

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2023
This study examined the seasonal distributions of the medusa Rhizostoma pulmo along the coasts of the southern Black Sea between Kızılırmak and Yeşilırmak between April 2008 and March 2010. Monthly abundance and biomass values were determined, as well as

Changes in the Bacterial Community Associated With Experimental Symbiont Loss in the Mucus Layer of Cassiopea xamachana Jellyfish

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Cassiopea xamachana is a model system for studies in animal symbiosis with algal symbionts. This medusa is also associated with a microbial community that can impact its health, but this community has not been thoroughly studied.

Crystallization of Cathode Active Material Precursors from Tartaric Acid Solution

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
This work investigates a novel approach for closing the gap between recycling and production of lithium‐ion battery cathode material. The new concept is based on antisolvent crystallization of metal carboxylates, which can be directly used as precursors in production of cathode material.

DeepZoo: A cost‐effective and modular sampler for ecological studies in the deep ocean

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the structure and dynamics of deep‐ocean communities requires effective sampling of pelagic organisms in near‐bottom waters. These dispersive organisms contribute to biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem recovery. Yet, current sampling methods remain constrained by size, cost, and depth, leaving key questions unanswered in ...

Cavitation activity induced by spring-loaded core needle biopsy devices

Scientific Reports
Core needle biopsy is a common medical procedure to obtain tissue samples with tissue architecture for pathological assessment. One prevalent method involves the use of spring-loaded core needle biopsy devices, or “biopsy guns”.

Climatic, biogeographic and ecological factors influence the spatial patterns of odd‐ and even‐year dominance in biennial European butterflies and burnet moths

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
250,000 observations of 7 annual, 11 biennial and 4 flexible lepidoptera species in the Alps and over 150,000 observations of 5 biennial species from Scandinavia were analysed. Maps show distinct patterns of different species that fly predominantly in odd or even years in the researched areas.
