DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.1310
Abstract: Biofilms are intricate communities of microorganisms encapsulated within a self‐produced matrix of extra‐polymeric substances (EPS), creating complex three‐dimensional structures allowing for liquid and nutrient transport through them. These aggregations offer constituent microorganisms enhanced protection from… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/sym14112228
Abstract: Small-sized structural elements such as beams, plates, and shells are usually used as nanomechanical resonators, nanoscale mass sensors, nanoelectromechanical actuators, and nanoenergy harvesters. At the nanoscale, the structures usually possess a high surface area-to-bulk volume… read more here.
