New research in @PRX_Life shows how corals use their beating cilia to create tiny 3D vortices that help move oxygen, nutrients, and waste across their surfaces. 🪸
Read the paper: go.aps.org/3Pp3wH9
ALT A coral specimen sits inside a transparent experimental water chamber illuminated with blue and purple lighting. Tubes and scientific equipment surround the tank as researchers study fluid flow and transport processes around the coral surface.

Combining mathematical modeling and experiments. A great story by Antony Selvan and myself together with @BrumleyLab @MicroSensing and collaborators. Supported by @arc_gov_au @MooreFound #MSCA #coral #cilia

How do corals use microscopic beating cilia to generate complex 3D fluid flows?
Honored to write an @APSphysics @PhysicsMagazine Viewpoint on beautiful new @PRX_Life work by Selvan, Brumley, and colleagues 😀

New research finds that heat stress can disrupt and eventually destroy corals’ cilia-based ventilation systems. scim.ag/3RCKBcp

Coral reefs are increasingly threaten by marine heatwaves, but what pushes corals past their breaking point?
New in @ScienceAdvances: we found that corals can lose the microscopic system that helps move oxygen around their tissues during heat stress 🪸

The viscous fingers formed during injection of low-viscosity fluid tend to retrace their original paths during withdrawal, especially where low-viscosity concentration peaks. Simulations show that the initial fingering regime governs the reversal dynamics.

Our paper on synchronization of cilia just out in PNAS. We show that non-reciprocal coupling between cilia allows metachronal waves to quickly spread across the ciliary carpet. With David Hickey and @RGolestanian from @LivMatPhys @mpids.
