  text: Social distancing is an effective way to prevent the spread of disease in
    societies, whereas infection elimination is a key element of organismal immunity.
    Here, we discuss how the study of social insects such as ants — which form a superorganism
    of unconditionally cooperative individuals and thus represent a level of organization
    that is intermediate between a classical society of individuals and an organism
    of cells — can help to determine common principles of disease defence across levels
    of organization.

  text: 'The highly enhanced thermoelectric figure of merit, zT ≈ 2.6 at 573 K, obtained
    recently in Cd-doped polycrystalline AgSbTe2 by Roychowdhury et al. ( Science
    2021, 371, 722) brings it to the forefront of thermoelectric and energy materials
    research. Ag/Sb cationic ordering in polycrystalline AgSbTe2 was a challenging
    issue for a long time: their ordered arrangement in the cationic sublattice in
    polycrystalline samples remained elusive despite multiple theoretical predictions
    and experimental studies. Recently, selective cation doping has been used to enhance
    the Ag/Sb ordering, and cation ordered nanoscale (2–4 nm) domains were observed
    in polycrystalline AgSbTe2, which reduce lattice thermal conductivity. The enhanced
    cation ordering also delocalizes disorder-induced localized electronic states,
    and consequently the electronic transport enhances. In this Focus Review, we provide
    the details of the rational design of a high-performance thermoelectric material
    using the recently developed atomic order–disorder optimization strategy with
    AgSbTe2 as an example. Atomic disorder is ubiquitous in most thermoelectric materials,
    and the atomic order–disorder optimization strategy applies to a large variety
    of thermoelectric materials.'
