Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but rely on a different component of the field than other insects. The survey suggests that the ...

Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...

Using weather radar data, researchers estimated that roughly 100 trillion insects are flying above the United States on a ...

Cyborg cockroaches guided by ultraviolet light and motion feedback navigate obstacles autonomously, showing how noninvasive control can coordinate biological movement with electronic sensing.

Around 100 trillion insects fly in the skies above the USA on a summer's day, according to estimates by researchers from the ...

Desert ants can sense the North-South direction of the magnetic field to determine the direction of their nest entrance during so called learning walks. How exactly magnetoreception works in animals, ...
