UV Laser‐Induced Carbon Microelectrode Arrays for Neuronal Recordings

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Thin‐film electrodes are flexible devices of high conformability and minimal dimensions with attractive properties for in vivo and in vitro bioelectronics. Here, electrodes are developed from parylene films via ultraviolet laser‐induced carbonization.

Nestmate recognition in social insects: overcoming physiological constraints with collective decision making. [PDF]

, 2010
Social insects rank among the most abundant and influential terrestrial organisms. The key to their success is their ability to form tightly knit social groups that perform work cooperatively, and effectively exclude non-members from the colony.

Behavioral Control of Workers by Queens in Primitively Eusocial Bees

Science, 1977
Queens of Lasioglossum zephyrum , a primitively eusocial bee, are considerably more active than workers. The queen's behavior stimulates worker activities; removal of the queen results in a marked reduction in activities of other bees.

Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Physical intelligence” (PI) empowers biological organisms and artificial machines, especially at the small scales, to perceive, adapt, and even reshape their complex, dynamic, and unstructured operation environments. This review summarizes recent milestones and future directions of PI in small‐scale robots and machines.

Terpenoid-Induced Feeding Deterrence and Antennal Response of Honey Bees [PDF]

, 2020
Multiple interacting stressors negatively affect the survival and productivity of managed honey bee colonies. Pesticides remain a primary concern for beekeepers, as even sublethal exposures can reduce bee immunocompetence, impair navigation, and reduce ...

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.

Lithium‐Charged Gold Nanoparticles: A New Powerful Tool for Lithium Delivery and Modulation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Activity

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces glutathione‐stabilized gold nanoparticles for targeted lithium delivery (LiG‐AuNPs), enabling the controlled modulation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase‐3 (GSK‐3β). These non‐toxic, 2‐nm particles release lithium intracellularly, effectively inhibiting GSK‐3β in the brain without significant plasma lithium alterations.

Megachile sculpturalis, the Giant Resin Bee, overcomes the blossom structure of Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea) that impedes pollination [PDF]

, 2016
Bee species that are effective pollinators of sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.: Fabaceae: Crotalarieae) are few in number because of the large size and papilionaceous structure of the plant’s blossom.
