This is biology. But it is also…material science.

#UMiami researchers are developing new strategies for coral restoration by improving survival rates of young corals. https://t.co/IO8yzThHKp

Alkalinity-enhanced artificial substrates modulate local pH and increase survivorship of early-stage coral recruits https://t.co/rCu3o2zFil

[PrakashLab @ Miami @Viveknprakash]

New paper out in @CommsEarth!

A major bottleneck in coral restoration is that newly settled corals rarely survive.

We show that simple engineered substrates can increase early-stage survivorship by ~4×.

What happens when marine embryos are crowded instead of isolated?

They become materials.

Honored to write a @NaturePhysics News & Views on excitable living solids discovered by @FakhriLab and colleagues at @MIT 😀

Let's look at some cool bilateral cellular flows videos!
IMHO: this is a goldmine for #EpithelialMechanics

Movie from Asai et al 2024 shows beautiful counter rotating flows.
