MIT researchers built an ultrasmall, low-power receiver that is designed to block a certain type of interference. The chip could be utilized in 5G-enabled smart devices that would be smaller, have longer battery lives, and be more reliable in crowded radio environments.  

Sandia National Laboratories and the nuclear security enterprise delivered the first unit of the B61-13 gravity bomb about a year ahead of schedule. 

Simultaneously detecting multiple signals with high precision has long challenged microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors due to unavoidable interference. 

Land use change and the increased agrochemical use associated with agricultural intensification significantly alter farmland biodiversity and associated ecosystem services worldwide. Vineyards as ecologically, culturally, and economically important agroecosystems, are particularly vulnerable, facing numerous pests and diseases while only a small proportion adopt sustainable management practices. Nevertheless, under suitable conditions, vineyards can support diverse and abundant predator communities capable of delivering effective natural pest control services. The collaborative study conducted by researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research and the University of Milan investigated the role of flying vertebrate predators – birds and bats – in vineyard natural pest control. Their findings, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, demonstrate that these predators not only help regulate pest populations but also increase economic benefit to farmers.
