Additive Manufacturing of Bioinspired Mineral-Based Composites
Biominerals are used by natural organisms for example as structural supports and optical sensors. They are produced from a limited number of elements and under ambient conditions. Nevertheless, they often possess excellent mechanical properties and sometim ...
EPFL2024Organic matters, but inorganic matters too: column examination of elevated mercury sorption on low organic matter aquifer material using concentrations and stable isotope ratios
Sorption of mercury (Hg) in soils is suggested to be predominantly associated with organic matter (OM). However, there is a growing collection of research that suggests that clay minerals and oxides are also important solid phases for the sorption of solu ...
2024First paleoproteome study of fossil fish otoliths and the pristine preservation of the biomineral crystal host
Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Jinming Guo
Otoliths are calcium carbonate components of the stato-acoustical organ responsible for hearing and maintenance of the body balance in teleost fish. During their formation, control over, e.g., morphology and carbonate polymorph is influenced by complex ins ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Metabolic Performance and Fate of Electrons during Nitrate-Reducing Fe(II) Oxidation by the Autotrophic Enrichment Culture KS Grown at Different Initial Fe/N Ratios
Autotrophic nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing (NRFeOx) microorganisms fix CO2 and oxidize Fe(II) coupled to denitrification, influencing carbon, iron, and nitrogen cycles in pH-neutral, anoxic environments. However, the distribution of electrons from Fe(II ...
AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY2023Integrating CO2 mineralization in industrial clusters: the benefits of material and heat integration
François Maréchal, Rafael Amorim Leandro De Castro Amoedo, Julia Granacher, Mouhannad Abou Daher
Curbing and capturing CO2 emissions is no longer enough to cope with the demanding environmental challenges of the coming years. Long-term storage technologies need deployment, to help industrial sectors to reach ambitious emission standards. Mineral carbo ...
2023Association of a Polygenic Risk Score With Osteoporosis in People Living With HIV: The Swiss HIV Cohort Study
Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball
An individual polygenic risk score was associated with osteoporosis in people living with HIV. The genetic effect was robust, as it persisted after multivariable adjustment for established traditional and HIV-related osteoporosis risk factors, including te ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC2023As easy as ABC: Optimal (A)ccountable (B)yzantine (C)onsensus is easy!
Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Pierre Philippe Civit, Vincent Gramoli, Seth Gilbert
In a non-synchronous system with n processes, no t(0)-resilient (deterministic or probabilistic) Byzantine consensus protocol can prevent a disagreement among correct processes if the number of faulty processes is > n - 2t(0). Therefore, the community defi ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2023Enrichment of immobile elements in synmagmatic fractures
Alexandra Roma Larisa Kushnir, Michael Heap
Useful minerals containing rare Earth elements (REE) and metals are sourced from magma bodies, but exactly how these elements initially leave the magma is not well known. Here we present textural and chemical analyses of mineral-filled fracture bands withi ...
2022Equal abundance of summertime natural and wintertime anthropogenic Arctic organic aerosols
Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Houssni Lamkaddam, Pragati Rai
Aerosols play an important yet uncertain role in modulating the radiation balance of the sensitive Arctic atmosphere. Organic aerosol is one of the most abundant, yet least understood, fractions of the Arctic aerosol mass. Here we use data from eight obser ...
