They then connected the antenna to a small ... According to Maoz and fellow researchers, in the animal world, insects excel at receiving and processing sensory signals. For example, they ...

“Our team is continuing to develop bio-hybrid drones that utilize living insect antennae as odor sensor elements. In this ...

Insect antennae have olfactory receptors that detect odour molecules emanating from a food source, a potential mate, or a good place to lay eggs. If an insect's antennae are covered in particulate ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect antennae have long fascinated scientists with their remarkable ability to detect an array of environmental stimuli, from vibrations and surface textures to magnetic fields.

Explaining their motivation behind the study, Dr. Terutsuki says, “Our team is continuing to develop bio-hybrid drones that utilize living insect antennae as odor sensor elements. In this ...

Previously, the research team developed a bio-hybrid prototype using insect antennae electrodes for odor detection. However, that version had a major limitation – it could only detect scents ...

in the insect antennae. These nerve cells respond to more than one VOC based on the type of chemical. They use a combinatorial coding process of identification which gives as few as 50 ORNs the ...

NAGANO, Japan >> Researchers in Japan have developed an odor-detecting drone that uses antennae taken from insects. The “insect drone” can autonomously find its way to the source of an odor.

Saha and his colleagues then inserted electrodes into lobes of the brain that receive signals from the insects’ antennae, which they use to sense odors. The team also grew three different types ...
