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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Scientists studied flies to understand why insect populations are disappearing and how they adapt to temperature and climate ...

The study is published online in the journal npj Robotics. Explaining their motivation behind the study, Dr. Terutsuki says, "Our team is continuing to develop bio-hybrid drones that utilize living ...

The skin bumps are the body's reaction to the insect's saliva. While the bug is sucking blood, some of its secretions get mixed in. Anaphylaxis With Insect Bites: Very Rare A severe life-threatening ...
