MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

Researchers have hacked living cockroaches to create new search-and-rescue tech.

Cyborg insects are redefining the future of robotics and swarm navigation. By blending living organisms with advanced electronic systems, these innovative biohybrids offer energy efficiency ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the ...

In almost all of the dance flies from the subfamily included in the study, the males bring nuptial gifts to the mating swarm in the form of insects. During mating, the female feeds on the male's ...

Researchers have developed a technology to control swarms of insects equipped with electronic sensors. These cyborgs could significantly improve the efficiency of rescue missions in disaster zones.

To help make this idea a reality, MIT researchers are developing robotic insects that could someday swarm out of mechanical hives to rapidly perform precise pollination. However, even the best bug ...

With bloated bellies and hairy legs, female flies try to look bigger to get food from courting mates. But male flies, in turn, have sharpened their eyesight to call their bluff. A new study suggests ...
