Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Nanomaterials for Allergy Diagnosis and Treatment: Advances, Opportunities and Translational Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials offer dual applications in allergy management. For diagnosis, nanomaterials enhance analytical sensitivity and improve detection in specific IgE and functional assays such as the basophil activation test (BAT). For allergen‐specific immunotherapy, nanomaterials enable allergen masking and controlled release, and effectively modulate the ...

The Honey Bee Colony’s Criterion for Candidate Selection: “Ongoing” or “One-Shot”?

Animals
In the honey bee, the queen’s death severely threatens the survival of the colony. In an emergency, new queens are reared from young worker larvae, where nepotism is thought to influence the choice of queen candidates by the workers.

Interference of ATP‐Binding Cassette Transporter by Functional Nano‐Delivery System for High Efficiency Management of Insecticide‐Resistant Nilaparvata lugens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A ZIF‐90 nanocarrier delivers dinotefuran and suppresses NlABCG3 and NlABCH1 in resistant Nilaparvata lugens. This system combines pH/ATP‐triggered release with enhanced foliar retention, improving efficacy while sparing honeybees and promoting rice growth, offering a promising resistance‐breaking strategy.

A Survey from 2015 to 2019 to Investigate the Occurrence of Pesticide Residues in Dead Honeybees and Other Matrices Related to Honeybee Mortality Incidents in Italy

Diversity, 2019
Honeybee health can be compromised not only by infectious and infesting diseases, but also by the acute or chronic action of certain pesticides. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of colony mortality by Italian beekeepers, but the ...

A Robotic Testing Platform for Pipelined Discovery of Resilient Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a robotic testing platform enabling high‐throughput, multi‐parameter lifetime mapping of linear dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). By integrating programmable high‐voltage control and automated electromechanical measurements, the system identifies material and operating conditions that double actuator lifetime.

Effects of Queen Rearing Technology of Apis cerana by Cutting Comb on Reproductive Capacity and Productive Performance

Agriculture
The queen, as the reproductive core of a honeybee colony, has declining reproductive capacity with age, making it necessary to rear new queens to replace older ones.

Self‐Amplified Activatable Fluorescent Probe for Early Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury and High‐Throughput Screening of Natural Protectants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The PS‐QRC nanoprobe employs L‐serine as a targeting ligand for kidney injury molecule‐1 (KIM‐1) to achieve accumulation in injured renal tissues. Upon activation by reactive oxygen species (ROS), it undergoes a self‐amplifying cascade to release fluorophores for near‐infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, enabling ultra‐early diagnosis of acute kidney ...
