Previously, the research team developed a bio-hybrid prototype using insect antennae electrodes for odor detection. However, that version had a major limitation – it could only detect scents ...

Terutsuki says, "Our team is continuing to develop bio-hybrid drones that utilize living insect antennae as odor sensor elements. In this research, we strive to incorporate the dynamic movements ...

An in-depth look at mosquito antennae and their sensitivity to vibrations, which may prove pivotal in predicting natural disasters.

Using two species of flies from different climates -- one from the cool, high-altitude forests of Northern California, the other hailing from the hot, dry deserts of the Southwest -- scientists ...

Researchers recently unveiled a new bio-hybrid drone that integrates live silkworm moth antenna to detect smells.

Insect populations, foundational to food chains ... potentially explained by higher sensitivity in their antennae’s molecular heat receptors, while desert flies were instead actively attracted ...

But unlike other arthropods—like lobsters, spiders, or millipedes—insects have three pairs of jointed legs, segmented bodies, an exoskeleton, one pair of antennae, and (usually) one or two ...
