Article Synopsis
  • Animals form organized foraging groups adhering to rules for cohesiveness, but face challenges from potential intruders during feeding.
  • Drosophila larvae synchronize their movements in clusters for more efficient feeding, but the selectivity and occurrence of this behavior in wild larvae is not well understood.
  • This study shows that clustering occurs in several fly species, with varying degrees of cluster membership and genetic differences influencing the benefits gained, highlighting significant ecological implications for Drosophila communities.

It is not currently possible for an infrared camera to see through a hot window. The window's own blinding thermal emission prevents objects on the other side from being imaged. Here, we demonstrate a path to overcoming this challenge by coating a hot window with an asymmetrically emitting infrared metasurface whose specially engineered imaginary index of refraction produces an asymmetric spatial distribution of absorption losses in its constituent nanoscale resonators.

In the spectrum of breast malignancies, triple-negative breast cancer is the most widely spreading subtype of breast cancer due to a low availability of therapeutic remedies. Recently, antibody-drug conjugates dramatically resolved the landscape for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. This review mainly focuses on the chemistry, structure, mechanism of action, and role of antibody-drug conjugates in triple-negative breast cancer.
