Mineralized sclerites in the gorgonian coral <i>Leptogorgia chilensis</i> as a natural jamming system Open
The soft corals (Cnidaria, Octocorallia), a diverse group of colonial marine invertebrates, can reversibly tune their body stiffness in response to external stimuli. This capability is attributed to their dynamic skeletal systems, which co…

A damage-tolerant, dual-scale, single-crystalline microlattice in the knobby starfish, <i>Protoreaster nodosus</i> Open
Cellular solids (e.g., foams and honeycombs) are widely found in natural and engineering systems because of their high mechanical efficiency and tailorable properties. While these materials are often based on polycrystalline or amorphous c…

Mechanical design of the highly porous cuttlebone: A bioceramic hard buoyancy tank for cuttlefish Open
Significance Cellular solids, or foams, are an important class of structural materials for packaging, transportation, and infrastructure due to their mechanical efficiency. Current foams are primarily made of metallic or polymeric material…

Physiological investigations of the influences of byproduct pathways on 3‐hydroxypropionic acid production in <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Open
Klebsiella pneumoniae can naturally synthesize 3‐hydroxypropionic acid (3‐HP), 1,3‐propanediol (1,3‐PD), and 2,3‐butanediol (2,3‐BD) from glycerol. However, biosynthesis of these industrially important chemicals is constrained by troubleso…
