Mesoporous Materials for Electrochemical Biosensors: From Broad Structure to Silica Film
This review showcases how mesoporous materials advance biosensing, spanning from material classes and fabrication strategies to the unique role of silica films as functional sensing platforms. With tunable porosity, high surface area, and versatile chemistry, these materials enhance selectivity and signal amplification in biosensors.

Exploring oxide quasicrystals in internal space
The internal space expansion with variable system size is investigated for three different oxide quasicrystal systems. Patches of 7800, 4800 and 3600 vertices are examined in Ba–Ti–O/Pt(111), Eu–Ti–O/Pd(111) and Sr–Ti–O/Pd(111), respectively. This internal space inspection provides unique structural information for quasicrystalline systems, which goes ...

We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

‘I'd rather have worse gums than worse lungs’: Young people's views of nicotine pouches in the UK
Abstract Background and aims Nicotine pouches entered the UK market in 2019. Although research has shown that young people's prevalence of use has been low, it has been reported to be increasing and a cause for concern. This paper reports the findings of the first qualitative study in the UK to explore the views of 14–16 year olds' knowledge, awareness

A strike for democracy? Migration, the bigot's veto, and the electoral use of force
Abstract Politicians and philosophers alike have warned that the spread of anti‐migrant bigotry in the Western world requires a tragic trade‐off regarding immigration policy: Although millions of asylum‐seekers might be owed admission to Western democracies, there are many cases where they nonetheless ought to be denied entry, because their admission ...

We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs
We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.
