The purpose of 3D bioprinting technology is to design and create functional 3D tissues or
organs in situ for in vivo applications. 3D cell‐printing, or additive biomanufacturing, allows …

It is increasingly apparent that faults are typically not discrete planes but zones of deformed
rock with a complex internal structure and three-dimensional geometry. In the last decade …

Surveying techniques such as terrestrial laser scanner have recently been used to measure
surface changes via 3D point cloud (PC) comparison. Two types of approaches have been …

3D point clouds of natural environments relevant to problems in geomorphology (rivers,
coastal environments, cliffs,…) often require classification of the data into elementary …

Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

We report on the topographic roughness measurements of five exhumed faults and thirteen
surface earthquake ruptures over a large range of scales: from 50 μm to 50 km. We used …

Some faults are considered strong because their strength is consistent with the Coulomb
criterion under Byerlee's friction, 0.6< μ< 0.85. In marked contrast, numerous studies have …

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is an alternative working fluid to water for hydraulic fracturing in shale
reservoirs. It offers advantages as a substitute for the use of large quantities of potable water …

Crustal deformation patterns are affected by multiscale granulation and healing processes
associated with phase transitions between continuum and discrete states of rocks. The …

Principal slip surfaces in fault zones accommodate most of the displacement during
earthquakes. The topography of these surfaces is integral to earthquake and fault …
