Beeswax-modified biopolymer aerogel: A sustainable approach to hydrophobic oil absorbing materials
eXPRESS Polymer LettersThis study presents for the first time a sustainable approach to hydrophobic modification of nanocellulose/chitosan bioaerogels using beeswax emulsion. The incorporation of beeswax into the aerogel matrix resulted in increasing the density from 35.1 to ...

Cooperative human signals to honeyguides form local dialects
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Human language enables the exchange of complex information and precise instructions for collaborative planning and action. It rapidly evolves through social learning, generating diverse cultural communication signals used not only with other humans, but also with domesticated animals bred or trained to respond.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Enhancing solar water heater efficiency: A study on heat transfer with phase change material
Results in EngineeringSolar energy, known for its abundance, affordability, and renewability, plays a crucial role in domestic applications. However, its intermittent nature demands efficient storage systems. This study proposes using beeswax, a low-melting-point phase change
