Researchers have now developed a novel bio-hybrid drone by combining robotic elements with odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Their innovation, which integrates the agility and precision ...
a wayward silkworm cocoon tumbled into her cup. As she fished it out, she noticed the heat had softened its delicate threads, ...
When the brain completely suppresses the secretion of the suboesophageal ganglion, the silkworm moths lay batches of non-diapausing eggs. When the brain accelerates the secretion of the ...
Researchers from Shinshu University and Chiba University develop a novel bio-hybrid drone using odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Incorporation of an electroantennography (EAG ...
Bio-hybrid drone uses silkworm moth antennae to navigate using smell Shinshu University Funder Heisei Memorial Research Grant, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, JKA Foundation, Casio ...
In the mid 1800s, a pervasive disease decimated silkworm agriculture in France. In an effort to save the silk-production industry, the French government persuaded Louis Pasteur, well-respected for ...
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 ...
Chiba University graduate school student Chihiro Fukui, left, holds a silkworm moth, while Shinshu University associate professor Daigo Terutsuki shows a scent-tracking drone, at the latter school ...
