By harnessing the unique auditory capabilities of these insects, scientists hope to revolutionize the capabilities of ...

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

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 ...

“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 and mechanisms ...

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

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 ...

The researchers also increased the sensor's performance by better adapting the sensor to the structure of the insect antennae. This allowed the electrical signals to be better recorded and evaluated.

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 ...

It is used in different ways, and not all of them are accurate. True bugs are a type of insect that has a straw-shaped mouth and segmented antennae, like stink bugs and bedbugs. On the other hand, ...

The blowfly larvae bodies have evolved to closely resemble those of the termites, the researchers report February 10 in Current Biology. Inside the nest, termites recognize each other through touch, ...

Explaining their motivation behind the study, Dr. Terutsuki says, "Our team is continuing to develop bio-hybrid drones that utilize living insect antennae as odor sensor elements. In this research ...
