Mycophagous rove beetles highlight diverse mushrooms in the Cretaceous

Agarics (gilled mushrooms) are rarely preserved as fossils, which has obscured their evolutionary history. Here, the authors describe new forms of agarics as well as new species of rove beetles with morphological specializations for mushroom feeding discovered in 99-million-year-old Burmese amber.

Modulating competitive adsorption of hybrid self-assembled molecules for efficient wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells and tandems

The interplay among hybrid self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) during deposition has not been well studied. Here, authors mix co-adsorbents with carbazole-based SAM material to improve the buried interface, achieving efficiency of 20.67% for wide-bandgap solar cells and 28.94% for all-perovskite tandem devices.

Surface chemical polishing and passivation minimize non-radiative recombination for all-perovskite tandem solar cells

The efficiency of all-perovskite tandem solar cells is impacted by the nonradiative recombination loss in Sn–Pb mixed narrow bandgap perovskite films. Here, the authors utilize a surface polishing agent with surface passivator to deliver films with a close-to-ideal stoichiometric ratio surface.

Etched BiVO₄ photocatalyst with charge separation efficiency exceeding 90%

Efficient charge separation plays a crucial role in enhancing artificial photocatalysis. Here, the authors report an alkali etching method to construct an electron transfer layer on BiVO₄:Mo photocatalysts, leading to a charge separation efficiency exceeding 90% at 420 nm.

Diverse transitional giant fleas from the Mesozoic era of China

The morphology of the oldest definitive fleas—from the Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods of China—suggests that they had ‘reptilian’ hosts before radiating to mammalian and avian hosts, and their stout and elongate sucking siphons suggest that they may be rooted among the scorpionflies of the Mesozoic era.

Amphibious flies and paedomorphism in the Jurassic period

New strashilid fossils from the Middle Jurassic epoch of Daohugou, China, show that they are highly specialized flies, and suggest that larval abdominal respiratory gills were retained in adult males, indicating that adult strashilids were probably aquatic or amphibious, with mating occurring in water.
