Interfacial Salt Redistribution Enables Rapid Atmospheric Water Harvesting in a Biomimetic Multi‐Layer Hygroscopic Membrane

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...

Apitoxin harvest affects population development but not the hygienic behavior of African-derived honey bees

Sociobiology, 2016
The biological properties of apitoxin have prompted its production for use in human and animal health applications. However, the apitoxin harvest triggers a defense reaction in honeybee colonies, which includes the release of alarm pheromones (isopentyl ...

Genetic Parameters of Honey Bee Colonies Traits in a Canadian Selection Program

Insects, 2020
Genetic selection has led to spectacular advances in animal production in many domestic species. However, it is still little applied to honey bees (Apis mellifera), whose complex genetic and reproductive characteristics are a challenge to model ...

Contact‐Free Human‐Machine Interfaces via Printed Thermopile Infrared Arrays

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Can a printed sheet locate and sense a fingertip without being touched? Fully printed, flexible thermoelectric arrays convert the infrared from a hovering finger directly into voltage, with no external power. Aerosol‐jet‐printed silver mirrors partially shield each pixel, creating a local temperature gradient.

Salivary Citrate Deficiency Defines an Endogenous Dentin Remineralization Failure State Through Glandular MT1/2‐Zn2+‐ACO2 Dysregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Salivary citrate deficiency in early‐stage Sjögren's syndrome accompanies impaired dentin remineralization despite preserved salivary flow and mineral availability. Matched‐ion experiments reveal disrupted mineral organization and reduced dentin recovery at disease‐associated citrate levels.
