Dynamic tuning of terahertz atomic lattice vibration via cross-scale mode coupling to nanomechanical resonance in WSe2 membranes

Abstract Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) based on atomically-thin tungsten diselenide (WSe2), benefiting from the excellent material properties and the mechanical degree of freedom, offer an ideal platform for studying and exploiting dynamic strain engineering and cross-scale vibration coupling in two-dimensional (2D) crystals.However, such op

Field Tests of Three Alternative Insecticides with Protein Bait for the Development of an Insecticide Rotation Program to Control Melon Flies, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

High levels of resistance to the spinosad-based insecticidal protein bait GF-120 have been detected in some Slippers populations of melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), in Hawaii in 2017.To provide cucurbit farmers in Hawaii with alternative insecticides, we field-tested the effectiveness of Agri-Mek SC (a.i., abame
