Self-driving cars typically use radar or LiDAR technology to avoid collisions with other vehicles. Scientists have now created a much simpler insect-inspired system that could serve the same purpose ...

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a tiny new sensor that can be carried around on a small drone or even the back of an insect – and then dropped on demand to track the ...

A team of engineers, physicists and biologists is seeking to create insect cyborgs—creatures with a mixture of organic and mechanical parts that could be used for military applications. The ...

Bees with “backpacks” can still eat, control their flight and perform other normal behavior. (University of Washington via YouTube) Bees with tiny electronic devices on their backs could sound like a ...

With some home security software and a little ingenuity, FIU biology Ph.D. student Yash Sondhi has developed a new tracking tool for hard-to-track insects. Moths, mosquitos and fruit flies usually fly ...

“Drones”, the unofficial term used to describe the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are increasingly used in airborne reconnaissance and combat missions, could be about to get even more drone-like ...
