Nature, 1882 I HAVE frequently observed that when a shock of any kind is imparted to the leaves or twigs, to which the web of the garden spider is affixed, the animal shakes violently in the centre of the web, so as to become almost or totally invisible to the eye; this quivering or dancing motion being kept up for many seconds, and then suddenly stopped.

American Zoologist, 1969 After the spider, Zygiella x-notata Cl. has been enticed to leave the retreat and catch a fly in a web turned upside-down, it takes a relatively long time to return to the retreat. The return-time is divided into periods of active searching and motionlessness.

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.New fluorescent optical antennas are realized and tested for diverse Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) applications. The fluorescent concentrator slabs, based on different organic fluorophores, convert and convey the digital data conveyed through intensity modulation of incoming light toward a small‐area photodiode.

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.A novel free‐space optical communication protocol that combines the benefits of partially coherent light sources with the decoding capabilities of convolutional neural networks is proposed. This approach establishes a robust communication link that can withstand atmospheric turbulence.
