Radiative Thermal Management for Extreme Environments: Mechanisms and Design Strategies
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of radiative cooling and solar heating, material and structural design strategies, hybrid approaches integrating additional heat transfer pathways, and durability‐oriented designs addressing environmental stresses.

Over 95% Optical Reflectance From Structurally Modulated All‐Biopolymer Multilayers
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A new dense–porous design turns ordinary polysaccharides into highly reflective photonic multilayers. Alternating dense pectin and porous cellulose nanofiber layers create strong refractive‐index contrast without inorganic or synthetic polymers, enabling nearly perfect visible reflection, high near‐infrared reflection, broadband metallic‐like colors ...

Near‐Infrared Imaging of H2O2 in Plants With Nanosensors Under Environmentally Changing Conditions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This paper reports a ratiometric nanosensor enabling robust, multivariate detection of stress signals (H2O2) in plants, with high resistance to light fluctuations and mechanical disturbances. Single‐walled carbon nanotubes serve as the sensor, Egyptian Blue nanosheets serve as a stable reference, and plant autofluorescence serves as a label‐free ...

Social insects: Morphophysiology of the nervous system
, 2011 Social insects are an interesting model to neurobiological studies due to the simplicity of its brain commanding the complex behaviors demanded by eusocial relationships and its capacity of learning and memorizing. In their social structure, usually have

How might we overcome ‘Western’ resistance to eating insects? [PDF]
, 2019 Entomophagy, the consumption of insects as a food source, occurs at a global scale with over 2 billion people seeing it as traditional. This practice does not extend into mainstream Western culture where its introduction is often met by a range of ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Chitin‐chitosan cryogels with degrees of N‐acetylation from 12.2% to 71.4% are fabricated by dissolution, coagulation and lyophilization for the sequestration of heavy metals from water. Colorimetry and differential pulse voltammetry showed controlled adsorption and desorption capacities for As5+, Co2+ and Cu2+, making this material attractive for ...
