Despite their small individual size, marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes can form
large 3D structures and complex habitats. These habitats contribute to seafloor …

Recent advances in robotic design, autonomy and sensor integration create solutions for the
exploration of deep-sea environments, transferable to the oceans of icy moons. Marine …

The deep ocean encompasses 95% of the oceans' volume and is the largest and least
explored biome of Earth's Biosphere. New life forms are continuously being discovered. The …

We here present annotated lists of names of Candidatus taxa of prokaryotes with ranks
between subspecies and class, proposed between the mid-1990s, when the provisional …

Hydrothermal iron (Fe)-rich sediments were recovered from the Tagoro underwater volcano
(Central Atlantic) that formed during the 2011–2012 volcanic event. Cruises in 2012 and …

Trichomes, also simply referred to as hairs, are fine outgrowths of epidermal cells in many
organisms including plants and bacteria. Plant trichomes have long been known for their …

Volcanic eruptions are important components of natural disturbances that provide a model to
explore the effects of volcanic eruption disturbances on soil microorganisms. Despite …

We presented a hybrid sapphire dual-Fabry—Perot-cavities sensor for high temperature and
refractive index measurement. A double-sided polished sapphire solid wafer is connected in …

In the next decade, advances in our understanding of microbes and microbiomes will likely
transform our way of life; providing novel therapeutics, alternate energy sources, and …

The shallow Tagoro submarine volcano monitoring represents a unique opportunity not only
for improving our sparse understanding of submarine volcanic processes in specific …
