Researchers from Japan have developed a novel bio-hybrid drone by combining robotic elements with odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Their innovation, which integrates the agility and ...

The innovative design involves carefully extracting the antennae of silkworm moths and attaching them to electrodes on an electroantennography (EAG) sensor, a system used to measure electrical ...

A research team from Japan's Shinshu University has developed a biohybrid drone that can perceive and navigate its surroundings using odor-sensitive sensors from silkworm moths that are connected ...

Three years ago Dr. Williams extracted an oil from the abdomens of silkworm moths, injected it into silkworm pupae. It stopped their normal development. The pupae never became adult moths ...

Japanese researchers recently unveiled a bio-hybrid drone with live silkworm moth antennae, enabling it to navigate and detect odors with unprecedented precision. “In this research, we strive to ...

"The silkworm makes a cocoon, and if you leave it alone, in two weeks, the moth will come out," she said. When the moth breaks out of the cocoon, it damages the precious silk thread, meaning it ...
