The world’s most venomous spider is a species complex: systematics of the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atracidae: Atrax robustus) by Stephanie F. Loria, Svea-Celina Frank, Nadine Dupérré, Helen M. Smith, Braxton Jones, Bruno A. Buzatto, Danilo Harms

“…The most recent morphological revision of funnel-web spiders (Atracidae) lists this species as both widespread and common in the Sydney Basin bioregion and beyond, roughly 250 km from the Newcastle area south to the Illawarra, and extending inland across the Blue Mountains. Morphological variability and venom diversity in this species appear to be unusually high, raising questions about species concepts and diversity in these spiders. …”

Microscopic Properties of Capacitor Insulating Oil under External Electric Field Based on Density Functional Theory by Meijuan Shi, Zhiyi Pang, Yi Li, Rui Qin

“…The absorption peak in the high frequency region of the molecular infrared spectrum exhibits a noticeable redshift, while the absorption peak in the low frequency region experiences a blue shift. The research findings can establish a theoretical framework for the micromorphology analysis of electric aging insulation oil in power capacitors, thereby offering a reference point for determining the breakdown voltage value in macroscopic electrical breakdown experiments. …”

Catalytic Activity of a Composition Based on Strontium Bismuthate and Bismuth Carbonate at the Exposure to the Light of the Visible Range by K. S. Makarevich, A. V. Zaitsev, O. I. Kaminsky, E. A. Kirichenko, I. A. Astapov

“…Catalytic particles that are synthesised at a temperature of 500°C containing 27 mass% (BiO)2CO3 (corresponding to SrBi2.9O5.35/(BiO)2CO3 = 1/0.56) have the greatest activity with respect to the photodecomposition of methylene blue (MB). The possibility of controlling the optical properties and photocatalytic activity of the composition is depicted due to the joint formation of the strontium bismuthate phase and the bismuth carbonate phase.…”
