Biological Control of the Chagas Disease Vector Triatoma infestans with the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana Combined with an Aggregation Cue: Field, Laboratory and Mathematical Modeling Assessment [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Current Chagas disease vector control strategies, based on chemical insecticide spraying, are growingly threatened by the emergence of pyrethroid-resistant Triatoma infestans populations in the Gran Chaco region of South America. Methodology

Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics‐Based Approach to Wearable Electronics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Deformation‐driven suction cups enable robust, reversible adhesion of wearable electronics to human skin spanning wide mechanical compliance, without adhesives or tight straps. By integrating mechanics modeling, experiments, and contact mechanics theory, this work reveals how cup geometry, substrate compliance, and interfacial adhesion govern suction ...

Language discrimination by human newborns and by cotton-top tamarin monkeys [PDF]
, 2000 Humans, but no other animal, make meaningful use of spoken language. What is unclear, however, is whether this capacity depends on a unique constellation of perceptual and neurobiological mechanisms, or whether a subset of such mechanisms are shared with

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Growth‐Like Swelling of 2D Precursors for Efficient Fabrication of Complex 3D Microstructures
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The growth‐like swelling process fills photocured polymers into the elastomeric microstructures, inducing a significant swelling deformation of microstructures that can be maintained in the absence of solvents. The growth‐like swelling process breaks through the dependence of swelling deformation on the solvents, thereby expanding the application of 3D

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that in high‐alloy systems, nanoclusters with high solute tolerance can effectively suppress compositional segregation. This mitigation leads to a concurrent 18.7% increase in strength and 41.5% improvement in ductility, which is attributed to a shear‐bypass synergistic strengthening mechanism. The findings provide a new pathway

Perception of linguistic rhythm by newborn infants [PDF]
, 2000 Previous studies have shown that newborn infants are able to discriminate between certain languages, and it has been suggested that they do so by categorizing varieties of speech rhythm.
