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 ...
Mosquito antennae have a main antennal shaft, or flagellum, and a secondary segment that contains the Johnston’s Organ—thought to be the most complex known insect organ capable of responding ...
Using two species of flies from different climates — one from the cool, high-altitude forests of Northern California, the ...
“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 ...
The answer? Fruit flies. The study found that a specific gene, Shal, controls a potassium ion channel in the Johnston’s organ — a key hearing structure in fruit fly’s antenna that fine-tunes how the ...
