Intermittent Gliding in the Hunting Flight of the Kestrel, Falco tinnunculus L. [PDF]
, 1983 The hunting flight of the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) consists of short bouts of flight at wind speed against the wind with the eyes in a fixed position relative to the ground, and of short flights from one such position to the next.

Advances and Perspectives in Graphene‐Based Quantum Dots Enabled Neuromorphic Devices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Graphene‐based QDs are zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials with pronounced quantum confinement and tunable electronic structures. Herein, we summarize their synthesis strategies and functionalization methods, and highlight their functional roles and operating mechanisms in devices, as well as recent advances in neuromorphic electronics. We anticipate

Unions against governments: explaining general strikes in Western Europe, 1980-2006 [PDF]
, 2012 Across Western Europe, unions have increasingly engaged in staging general strikes against governments since 1980. This increase in general strikes is puzzling as it has occurred at the same time as economic strikes have been on the decline.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A nano‐plasma device enables watt‐level on‐chip THz generation through picosecond switching triggered by secondary electron emission avalanche. An ultra‐dense electron sheet initiates nano‐plasma formation within a ∼100 nm gap, driving rapid energy release into an integrated resonator.
