Ion Valency as a Molecular Switch for Salt‐Resistant Underwater Adhesion
Monovalent K+ ions weaken adhesion by forming K+‐π complexes with weak bridging capacity. In contrast, multivalent cations like Y3+ enhance adhesion by forming stable π‐cation‐π bridging networks, which are resistant to salt and capable of compensating for the loss of native π–π and NH3+‐π interactions.

Pathogen avoidance by insect predators [PDF]
Insects can detect cues related to the risk of attack by their natural enemies. Pathogens are among the natural enemies of insects and entomopathogenic fungi attack a wide array of host species.

Recent Advances in Reactive Microdroplets for Clean Water and Energy
Reactive microdroplets enable precise and sustainable chemistry at small scales. This review explores their role as confined reactors and dynamic interfaces for synthesizing functional materials, fuels, and microdevices. It offers a critical perspective on how droplet‐based platforms can drive next‐generation technologies in clean energy, environmental

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]
In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

Acoustic Wavefront Shaping Using Ultrahigh Phase Resolution Metamaterial
A Bilateral Symmetrical T‐shaped (BST) acoustic metamaterial unit cell capable of achieving a high phase resolution of π/36 radians at 8000 Hz is introduced. The approach enables tunable wavefront control through simple rotational adjustment of BST, which offers an alternative to the conventional complex metamaterials unit cell design and a way for ...
