Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

The Molecular Properties of Honey Bee Acetylcholinesterase Reveal Opportunities to Avoid Off‐Target Effects in Insecticide Discovery

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The structure, dynamics, and kinetics of the essential enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of honey bee have been studied and compared to AChEs in mosquitoes and mammalians. Profiling of the active sites with selected substrates and AChE inhibitors revealed dramatic differences between the species.
