Molecular Nanosolids Generation by Vapor Jet Desublimation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A single‐step, solvent‐free approach to fabricate nanoparticles of small organic molecules is demonstrated, using a nitrogen‐propelled vapor jet, enabling tunable particle morphology and crystallinity. Pharmaceutical, flavoring, dyeing and electronics‐relevant molecules are used, demonstrating process generalizability.

A Pyralid Moth (Lepidoptera) as Pollinator of Blunt-Leaf Orchid [PDF]

, 2017
(excerpt) As early as 1912, mosquitoes were observed bearing the pollen masses (pollinia) of the blunt-leaf orchid, Habenaria obtusata (Pursh) Richardson, in Reese\u27s Bog, a cedar swamp at the north end of Burt Lake, Cheboygan County, Michigan, near ...

Exotic insect pollinators and native pollination systems

Plant Ecology, 2021
Insect pollinators have been relocated by humans for millennia and are, thus, among the world’s earliest intentional exotic introductions. The introduction of managed bees for crop pollination services remains, to this day, a common and growing practice worldwide and the number of different bee species that are used commercially is increasing.

Scalable Fabrication of Electrochemical Sensors Via Inkjet Printing of Functionalized Graphene for Pesticide Detection

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Inkjet printing enables uniform, reproducible, and stable deposition of nitrogen‐doped graphene acid (NGA) on screen‐printed electrodes, outperforming traditional drop‐casting. The resulting electrochemical sensor exhibits enhanced sensitivity, long‐term stability, and efficient imidacloprid detection.

The neonicotinoid insecticide Imidacloprid repels pollinating flies and beetles at field-realistic concentrations [PDF]

, 2013
Neonicotinoids are widely used systemic insecticides which, when applied to flowering crops, are translocated to the nectar and pollen where they may impact upon pollinators.

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

An Allele of Glutamate Formiminotransferase Triggers 5‐Methyl‐Tetrahydrofolate‐to‐MeFox Conversion and Facilitates Folate Biofortification in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the distinct roles of the glutamate formiminotransferase (GFT) enzyme in plants. The GFT triggers the conversion of 5‐methyl‐tetrahydrofolate to MeFox in plants, a process distinct from its role as a formiminotransferase in mammals.
