Pesticide Exposure Causes Bumblebee Flight to Fall Short

Flight behavior is crucial for determining how bees forage. Any reduction or alteration in normal flight performance resulting from pesticide exposure could lead to colonies going hungry, and thus pollination services can be severely impacted. Foraging bees are essential pollinators for the crops the global population eat, and the wildflowers in the countryside, gardens, and parks. Any factor compromising bee flight performance could, therefore, impact this pollination service affecting the who

Augmented Reality: The Future of Building

Augmented Reality (AR), also known as spatial computing, is rapidly growing and expanding into countless business and industrial applications. Spatial computing is used as a broad term to describe the way humans interact with computers in the same surrounding. In other words, in spatial computing machines occupy the same space as humans rather than being contained to one single location. An Augmented Reality system, therefore, makes digital media feel physically present through interactive des
