Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Sustainable Utilization and Fire Protection of Wood‐Based Composites in Buildings: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

Capture, Confine, Characterize: High‐Throughput Dielectrophoresis‐Based Single‐Cell Microfluidics Platform to Analyze Mammalian and Yeast Cells Using Raman Spectroscopy

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Traditional single‐cell analysis lacks the capacity for real‐time monitoring. This study presents Microfluidic dielectrophoretic Arresting System (MiDAS), a microelectrofluidic platform using dielectrophoresis for single‐cell and droplet trapping. MiDAS immobilizes diverse samples (cells, beads, droplets) for optical imaging and Raman spectroscopy. Its
