Alkalinity-enhanced artificial substrates modulate local pH and increase survivorship of early-stage coral recruits dlvr.it/TS772L

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.
