Porous media play important roles in a wide range of scientific and engineering problems.
Recently, with their increasing application in energy conversion and storage devices, such …

Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell chemical communication that relies on
the production, detection and response to extracellular signalling molecules called …

Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

Pore network models have been applied widely for simulating a variety of different physical
and chemical processes, including phase exchange, non-Newtonian displacement, non …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Abstract 3D porous carbon structures, fabricated via 3D printing technique, were first utilized
as the anode materials for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The intrinsic biocompatibility of 3D …

Biofilms are antibiotic-resistant, sessile bacterial communities that occupy most moist
surfaces on Earth and cause chronic and medical device-associated infections. Despite their …

Biofilms have been extensively studied in aquatic and clinical environments. However, the
complexity of edaphic microenvironment hinders the advances toward understanding the …

Molecular communication (MC) engineering is inspired by the use of chemical signals as
information carriers in cell biology. The biological nature of chemical signaling makes MC a …

Bacteria thrive both in liquids and attached to surfaces. The concentration of bacteria on
surfaces is generally much higher than in the surrounding environment, offering bacteria …
