Vibration as a New Survey Method for Spiders
AnimalsSpiders have important ecological roles as generalist predators, are a significant source of food for many other species, and are bioindicators of environmental health. However, spiders are poorly studied.

Tuning the Phase Structure and Electrical Properties of BNKT‐Based Ceramics via Li+ Doping
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Li+‐doped Bi0.5[Na0.84‐xK0.16Lix]0.5TiO3 lead‐free piezoelectric ceramics are fabricated. The optimized composition delivers a high piezoelectric coefficient d33 and elevated depolarization temperature Td. It also shows large electrostrain and high Curie temperature, greatly extending the working temperature range for BNT‐based piezoelectric ...

Hydrogel‐Based 3D‐Printable Stretchable Pressure Sensor
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We present a carbon‐black‐functionalized double‐network granular hydrogel (DNGH) pressure sensor capable of detecting pressures from 200 Pa, equivalent to a light finger touch, up to 500 kPa. The sensor exhibits signal drifts below 3.5% after 800 cycles and response times around 80 ms. Leveraging this broad sensing range, we 3D print this material into

Predator mimicry: metalmark moths mimic their jumping spider predators. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2006 Cases of mimicry provide many of the nature's most convincing examples of natural selection. Here we report evidence for a case of predator mimicry in which metalmark moths in the genus Brenthia mimic jumping spiders, one of their predators.
