Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A developmentally inspired bioprinting approach enables the fabrication of pluripotent tissues that undergo shape‐morphing and in situ cardiac lineage specification. This method employs embedded bioprinting to deposit iPSCs within soft granular hydrogels to create pluripotent tissue constructs that undergo cell‐mediated shape morphogenesis.

Rocking response of inverted pendulum structures under blast loading
, 2019 International audienceWe investigate the dynamics of inverted pendulum structures under fast-dynamic excitations arising from an explosion. We model blast actions using established empirical models and best-fit interpolations of existing experimental ...

Enhancing Maturation of Human Neuromuscular Organoids via Electrical Stimulation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A framework for on‐demand and non‐invasive exposure of human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) to electrical stimuli is established to promote their maturation. The robustness and effectiveness of different stimulation regimes are evaluated via thorough characterization of organoid tissue structure and contraction capacity. Chronic electrical stimulation,

A fiber beam-column model for damage assessment of traditional Chinese timber structures
Journal of Asian Architecture and Building EngineeringThis study proposes a fiber beam-column model that takes into account the anisotropy of wood and the embedment behavior of the rocking column to assess the impact of wood damage on the lateral performance of traditional Chinese timber structures ...
