Sound source localization by Ormia ochracea inspired low–noise piezoelectric MEMS directional microphone
The single-tone s (SSL) by majority of fly Ormia ochracea’s ears–inspired directional microphones leaves a limited choice when an application like hearing aid (HA) demands broadband SSL. Here, a piezoelectric MEMS directional microphone using a modified mechanical model of fly’s ear has been presented with primary focus to achieve SSL in most sensitive audio bands to mitigate the constraints of traditional SSL works.Nature: 2020-06-12

Spontaneous formation of nanoscale hollow structures could boost battery storage
Small batteries were used to study the spontaneous formation of nanoscale hollow structures. An unexpected property of nanometer-scale antimony crystals -- the spontaneous formation of hollow structures -- could help give the next generation of lithium ion batteries higher energy density without reducing battery lifetime.nsf.gov: 2020-06-18
