Surface Strain Evolution and Cracking Behavior of Concrete Under Non-Uniform Corrosion-Induced Expansion Monitored by Distributed Fiber Optics

Cover cracking induced by steel corrosion is a critical issue governing the durability degradation of reinforced concrete structures in marine environments. The crack initiation and propagation processes dominated by non-uniform rust expansion stress fields urgently require high-...

Multi-omics and cultivation reveal laminarin-degrading PVC bacteria in the deep sea

The deep sea is home to a vast and largely unexplored microbial biosphere, along with large amounts of complex organic matter (COM). However, the functional capacity of the deep-sea microbiome to metabolize organic matter across diverse regions remains poorly understood. Here, we...
