Advances in Invertebrate Biohybrid Robotics: Leveraging Nature for Locomotion and Sensing in Engineered Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

BOOK REVIEW | The Biology of Reefs and Reef Organisms [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2014
Walter Goldberg dedicates his new reference book, The Biology of Reefs and Reef Organisms, to "the condition of the reefs the way I remember them, with the hope that they might be that way again someday." He follows this simple, emotional, dedicatory plea with thorough descriptions of reef formation and colorful reef inhabitants, and ends with a note ...

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2017
Coral reefs support immense biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services to many millions of people. Yet reefs are degrading rapidly in response to numerous anthropogenic drivers. In the coming centuries, reefs will run the gauntlet of climate change, and rising temperatures will transform them into new configurations, unlike anything observed

Behavior of Major Cations in Optimization of Polymer Inclusion Membrane for the Transport of Lithium From Seawater

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Selectivity in Lithium extraction from major ions in seawater. ABSTRACT Recovery of lithium from seawater remains a problem because of its low concentration. In this study, the extraction of lithium and other metals was carried out in both spiked and real seawater samples. Polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) was synthesized using cellulose triacetate as a
