A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Impacts of predator–prey interaction on managing maximum sustainable yield and resilience
Nonlinear Analysis, 2020 This paper gives a broad outline of some comparative analysis of two ecological services, namely, yield and resilience of a generalist predator–prey system.

On the critical behavior of a lattice prey-predator model
, 2001 The critical properties of a simple prey-predator model are revisited. For some values of the control parameters, the model exhibits a line of directed percolation like transitions to a single absorbing state.

Quantum Prey–Predator Dynamics: A Gaussian Ensemble Analysis
Foundations of Physics, 2023 Quantum frameworks for modeling competitive ecological systems and self-organizing structures have been investigated under multiple perspectives yielded by quantum mechanics. These comprise the description of the phase-space prey-predator competition dynamics in the framework of the Weyl-Wigner quantum mechanics.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thermoelectric temperature sensors are developed that directly measure heat changes during optical‐based neural stimulation with millisecond precision. The sensors reveal the temperature windows for safe reversible neural modulation: 1.4–4.5 °C enables reversible neural inhibition, while temperatures above 6.1 °C cause permanent thermal damage.

Statistical mechanics and stability of a model eco-system
, 2007 We study a model ecosystem by means of dynamical techniques from disordered systems theory. The model describes a set of species subject to competitive interactions through a background of resources, which they feed upon.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Controlled laser‐drilling of embedded HfO2 membranes creates three layer nanopores with Gaussian‐shaped cavities sculptured in the supporting layers. These embedded solid‐state nanopores slow DNA translocation by 12‐fold compared to SiNx pores, enabling high‐resolution, label‐free detection of short DNAs, RNAs, and proteins.

Predator–prey interaction in insects and arachnids: a chemical ecology perspective
Academia Environmental Sciences and SustainabilityAnimals emit distinctive semiochemicals—chemical substances that mediate interactions between organisms—and many of them have evolved means to detect and respond to these chemicals emitted by others.

Self-organized patterns of coexistence out of a predator-prey cellular automaton [PDF]
, 2006 We present a stochastic approach to modeling the dynamics of coexistence of prey and predator populations. It is assumed that the space of coexistence is explicitly subdivided in a grid of cells.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by octopuses, actuating legs based on soft materials are fabricated with programmed chiroptical properties and mechanical behaviors to achieve dynamic color modulation and reversible shape morphing, and these legs are developed into a modular OCTOID system.
