Advanced Composites Inspired by Biological Structures and Functions in Nature: Architecture Design, Strengthening Mechanisms, and Mechanical-Functional Responses. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh), 2023 In this work, the progress of structural materials is reviewed, the strengthening mechanisms of different types of structures are highlighted, and the impact of architecture design on the performance of advanced materials is discussed. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of structural innovation of advanced materials in improving material ...

Shape Memory Soft Robotics with Yield Stress Fluids
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 Many organisms use non‐Newtonian fluids and pressurized cavities to produce movement. Inspired by these biological motifs, this study 3D prints soft robotics into a yield stress support matrix and retains the support material as the power transmission fluid.

A Molecular‐Scale Understanding of Misorientation Toughening in Corals and Seashells
Advanced Materials, Volume 35, Issue 28, July 13, 2023., 2023 Coral skeletons and nacre (left and right, respectively) have distinct structures, but they share slight misorientation of adjacent crystals, as displayed in these maps where color represents crystal orientation, and as measured in the histogram (center bottom).

A guide to area‐restricted search: a foundational foraging behaviour
Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 6, Page 2076-2089, December 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT Area‐restricted search is the capacity to change search effort adaptively in response to resource encounters or expectations, from directional exploration (global, extensive search) to focused exploitation (local, intensive search). This search pattern is used by numerous organisms, from worms and insects to humans, to find various targets ...

Basin Research, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1567-1600, October 2022., 2022 Late Quaternary syn‐rift basinal deposits in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece, are analysed using IODP Expedition 381 boreholes. Stratigraphic packages of mud‐dominated deposits record distinct hydrological conditions related to global sea‐level interacting with highs at the ends of the rift, highlight rift segment boundaries as controls on stratigraphy in ...

Biomineralized Materials as Model Systems for Structural Composites: 3D Architecture
Advanced Materials, Volume 34, Issue 20, May 19, 2022., 2022 Biomineralized load‐bearing materials are intrinsically 3D composites and are widely used as model systems for developing novel structural materials with improved mechanical performance. This review presents recent progress in understanding the 3D architectural design of biomineralized composites.

Boreas, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 385-401, April 2022., 2022 Large parts of the upper Midwest, USA were impacted by permafrost during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Even though permafrost persisted as the Laurentide Ice Sheet began to recede, direct age control of this interval is largely lacking. To better temporally constrain the permafrost interval in western Wisconsin, we identified two sites, outside the ...

Aquaculture Research, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 782-798, February 2022., 2022 Abstract The ferruginous limpet is one of the most threatened invertebrate species in the Mediterranean Sea. Its controlled reproduction has been considered one of the potentially most effective strategies for the production of juveniles for population restocking or for recolonization of areas where the species was brought to extinction by human ...

Sedimentology, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 345-371, January 2022., 2022 Abstract This paper regards the lower Pleistocene temperate‐water carbonate deposits disconformably overlying an escarpment made up of faulted Cretaceous to Miocene limestones of the Apulia Foreland (southern Italy). Study deposits discontinuously crop out along the present‐day eastern Salento sea cliff, and form isolated fan‐shaped bodies, up to 1 km ...

Biosurface and Biotribology, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 233-238, December 2021., 2021 Abstract The purpose of this study is to achieve better understanding of associated mechanisms and to recommend and identify new strategies to develop new rock breaking technology for Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs). Tunnel Boring Machine tunnelling mainly depends upon the rock breakage caused by cutters moving on a rock surface in a rolling and sliding ...
