Electronic‐Free Particle Robots Communicate through Architected Tentacles
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work introduces a new class of particle robots that communicate without any electronic components. Their communication protocols are encoded in the geometry of their tentacles are and realized solely through physical contact. Building on these simple communication schemes, electronic‐free particle robots can achieve a range of collective ...

The effect of silencing immunity related genes on longevity in a naturally occurring Anopheles arabiensis mosquito population from southwest Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Vector control remains the most important tool to prevent malaria transmission. However, it is now severely constrained by the appearance of physiological and behavioral insecticide resistance. Therefore, the development of new vector control

A Novel Antimalarial Agent that Inhibits Protein Synthesis in Plasmodium falciparum
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Compound 31 represents a promising avenue for the development as an antimalarial agent with a potent activity profile (PfNF54 IC50 ± s.d. = 3.9 ± 0.4 nM). It has a novel mode of action by binding to cytosolic ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis in the parasite.
