Elasticity‐Driven Periodic Polarization Patterns in a Chiral Ferroelectric Nematic Fluid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral polar ferroelectric nematic fluids exhibit spontaneous formation of stripe, square, and hexagonal polarization textures under confinement. Controlled by thickness and anchoring, these patterns produce spatially modulated nonlinear optical responses.

Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) reared from Sarcophaga (Liopygia) ruficornis (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) in northern Brazil

Revista Chilena de Entomología
The family Sarcophagidae is cosmopolitan and plays a significant role in organic matter decomposition. Some species have medical, veterinary, and forensic importance, as they can cause myiasis and act as vectors of pathogenic agents.

Multi‐Biomimetic Structural Colors Inspired by Pearls and Bird Feathers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐biomimetic strategy mimicking pearls and bird feathers is proposed to construct full‐gamut structural colors. By integrating a non‐strictly periodic inorganic multilayer architecture with tunable light absorbers, this facile approach circumvents the complex fabrication of traditional 1D photonic crystals, offering immense potential for cosmetics,

Allergic reactions associated with tsetse fly bites

Annals of Medicine
Background Allergic reactions in response to arthropod bites are a growing concern worldwide. Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) is a red meat allergy associated with IgE antibodies against galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-Gal), typically linked to tick bites ...

Bradysia sp. (Diptera: Sciaridae), a pollinator that can die in flowers of Ditassa banksii Schult. (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae)

Hoehnea
This is the first record of Bradysia sp. as a pollinator of Ditassa banksii Schult.. This fly usually becomes trapped in the flower and die, but it carries out the pollination too.

Inverse Design of Nanoparticulate Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inverse design shifts nanomaterial development from empirical trial‐and‐error to predictive model‐driven strategies. It can rely on knowledge‐based, data‐based, or hybrid process and property functions. This perspective article provides a practical framework for applying inverse design based on instructive examples. It discusses which modeling approach

Triacylglycerol-rich lipophorins are found in the dipteran infraorder Culicomorpha, not just in mosquitoes

Journal of Insect Science, 2002
Lipophorin is the major hemolymph protein responsible for lipid transport between tissues of insects. Lipophorins from several insect species in order Diptera (the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster from the suborder Brachycera, the mosquito Aedes aegypti;

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.
