Biohybrid is a newly emerging and promising approach to construct soft robotics and soft
machines with novel functions, high energy efficiency, great adaptivity and intelligence …

Cells are sophisticated integrators of mechanical stimuli that lead to physiological,
biochemical, and genetic responses. The bioluminescence of dinoflagellates, alveolate …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are common components of
mechanosensing pathways, mainly described in mammals and other multicellular …

One of the characteristic features of many marine dinoflagellates is their bioluminescence,
which lights up nighttime breaking waves or seawater sliced by a ship's prow. While the …

Waves and currents influence nearly all nearshore physical processes. Their complex
interaction gives birth to complex turbulence features that are far from being completely …

A novel direct measurement strategy of wave near-bed velocity and bottom shear stress
based on the use of ferrofluids is presented. The proposed methodology is aimed at …

The present paper explores the possibility of exploiting sandpits at intermediate and shallow
water depths by analyzing both the hydrodynamic and the morphodynamic response in the …

The measurement of the near-bottom flow characteristics is crucial to correctly understand
coastal processes. To overcome some of the limits of present state-of-the-art measuring …

Cet article de synthèse introduit tout d'abord le contexte général de l'érosion des sols, un
processus naturel omniprésent impliquant des échelles spatio-temporelles extrèmement …

Dinoflagellate bioluminescence, a common source of bioluminescence in coastal waters, is
stimulated by flow agitation. Although bubbles are anecdotally known to be stimulatory, the …
