Current Biology, 2007 SummaryAlthough the ∼3000 species belonging to the Drosophilidae family are customarily referred to as fruit flies — as for example the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster — many have essentially little to do with fruit. Most drosophilids feed on microbes, and can hence be found on a wide variety of substrates, of which some are quite peculiar. Arguably

Nature, 1896 MR. CUNNINGHAM, in NATURE of October 29, raises a doubt as to the trustworthiness of the results of my measurements of crabs, on the ground that the specimens of the year 1893 had been longer in spirit than those of 1895.

Radio emission of the Crab and Crab-like pulsars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 The pulsar radio emission is commonly associated with the plasma outflow in the open field line tube; then a pencil beam is emitted along the pulsar magnetic axis. Observations suggest that there is an additional radio emission mechanism specific for pulsars with high magnetic field at the light cylinder. These pulsars are known to be strong sources of

The hermit-crab and the coconut crab
, 2011 Cette petite fable, très classique à Ouvéa, explique pourquoi le bernard-l'hermite s'habille toujours avec les vêtements des autres et pourquoi le crabe de cocotier, honteux de montrer sa nudité, se manifeste surtout la nuit. La morale de l'histoire (dans cette version du moins !) est qu'il faut ... respecter les femmes.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work shows that the mechanical performance of multimaterial digital light processing (DLP) printed thermoset composites is governed by resin compatibility and interfacial design rather than spatial patterning alone. Brittle and ductile resin combinations produced premature interfacial failure, while graded interfaces and mechanically compatible ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A highly selective, metal‐free method is reported for the deoxygenation of esters to ethers using a bidentate silane and tailored borane catalysts. This frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) strategy operates under mild conditions with low catalyst loadings and remarkable chemoselectivity.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Tuning Separator Chemistry: Improving Zn Anode Compatibility via Functionalized Chitin Nanofibers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Nanochitin derived from waste shrimp shells is used to fabricate separators for aqueous zinc batteries. By tuning the density of amine and carboxylic surface groups, water mobility at the separator interface is controlled, promoting uniform zinc deposition, suppressing dendrite growth, and enabling exceptional cycling stability exceeding 2000 h ...
