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 ...

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 ...

With its shiny, black and fiery body and orange-tipped antennae, the American burying beetle is a vibrant beauty of the bug world. The insect's occupation, though, is a little less glamorous. After ...

“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 ...
