Dynamic polarization vision in mantis shrimps
Nature Communications, 2016 Mantis shrimps are known to display large pitch, yaw and torsional eye rotations. Here, the authors show that these eye movements allow mantis shrimp to orientate particular photoreceptors in order to better discriminate the polarization of light.

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Versatile Gasochromic Hydrogen Detection via Supraparticle‐Based Applied Composite Materials
Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 9, 6 March 2026.Silica‐platinum‐resazurin supraparticles are embedded into PMMA to form suprabeads and thin films. The thereby obtained indicators change color from purple to pink to colorless on hydrogen exposure. The indicator systems are tested under various environmental conditions, and their performance is related to their microscopically visualized structure ...

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.ABSTRACT Diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) with low‐temperature activity are required for low‐temperature combustion diesel (LTC‐D) engine technologies to meet emission regulations. To probe the impact of oxygen availability on activity, bimetallic Pt‐Pd catalysts supported on Ce‐Zr‐Al mixed oxides with varying Ce/Zr/Al contents were systematically ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 3, March 2026.The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.
