Across Florida, winged clouds of termites are rising from lawns, seawalls and tree canopies, and scientists say the insects ...

This is an amazing flying wing project, using classic balsa wood construction and covering. You can learn more in the ...

If you break open a chicken bone, you won't find a solid mass of white material inside. Instead, you will see a complex, ...

Spotted lanternflies are adapting to the pressures of city life such as heat, pollution, and pesticides, according to genomic ...

A single physics trick lets robots roll, jump, swim, crawl inside pipes, and could soon power insect-like flight. An orange ...

Whether it’s seaweed cloaks or see-through wings, these animals know how to hide. Meet four masters of disguise who’ve turned camouflage and mimicry into a work of art.

These motorcycles have all done their part to cement Honda's reputation for near-perfect reliability into our collective ...

Polymer-based delivery systems for double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) have gained attention as a promising strategy for RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated insect pest control. Despite encouraging in vitro ...

A bacterial cell settles onto a nondescript surface. It is plump, healthy and functioning as it should. Nothing appears amiss. But within minutes, the once taut cell is a deflated blob. Zoom in to the ...

In contrast to mammals, insects possess a separate machinery for processing of long dsRNAs into siRNAs for the cleavage of viral RNAs. The process of RNAi is considered very efficient in all insects ...

Abstract: In this paper, a control algorithm using multi-level optimization and model predictive control is proposed to solve the conflict between the computational cost and control accuracy of the ...

Abstract: Wing flapping of insects can cause micro-Doppler patterns in the reflected signals. Here we study the feasibility of insect sensing from a joint waveform from a near-field continuous-wave ...
