Ion Valency as a Molecular Switch for Salt‐Resistant Underwater Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yes, 2008
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.

A Preservative-Free Emergent Trap for the Isotopic and Elemental Analysis of Emergent Insects From a Wetland System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This study reports a cost-effective, live emergent trap designed for the preservative-free use in both biogeochemical and ecological analyses of emerging insects. The trap proved to be advantageous in several ways.

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
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 ...
