Natural Sunlight IR‐Driven Highly Efficient Synthesis of Acetaldehyde From Bioethanol Over Cu/Fe2O3
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This work reports a Cu/Fe2O3 catalyst for the conversion of bioethanol into valuable acetaldehyde and green hydrogen under both infrared (IR) light and natural sunlight. This IR‐driven system sets a new performance benchmark, with TON and initial TOF enhanced by at least one order of magnitude, enabled by a constructed IR photon‐to‐phonon channel and ...

A neuronal correlate of insect stereopsis
Nature Communications, 2019 The praying mantis, a predatory insect, estimates depth via binocular vision. In this way, the animal decides whether prey is within reach. Here, the authors explore the neural correlates of binocular distance estimation and report that individual ...

The functional significance of mantis peering behaviour
European Journal of Entomology, 2012 The aim of this review is to explain the functional significance of mantis peering behaviour from an entomological perspective. First the morphological and optical features of the mantis compound eye that are important for spatial vision are described ...

Atomic Tuning of Metal‐Support Interactions for Pathway‐Selective CO2 Photoreduction on TiO2
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Single‐atom Fe and Cu catalysts anchored on TiO2 steer photocatalytic CO2 reduction toward distinct pathways. Fe sites favor rapid *CO desorption and selective CO formation, whereas Cu sites stabilize *CHO intermediates, enabling deep reduction and C─C coupling. Combined spectroscopy and DFT calculations reveal how metal–support interactions and oxygen

A Novel Form of Stereo Vision in the Praying Mantis [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Stereopsis is the ability to estimate distance based on the different views seen in the two eyes [1-5]. It is an important model perceptual system in neuroscience and a major area of machine vision. Mammalian, avian, and almost all machine stereo algorithms look for similarities between the luminance-defined images in the two eyes, using a series of ...
