An electronic nose modeled on insect antennae simultaneously identifies gas mixtures and pinpoints their three-dimensional origin by decoding the natural dynamics of odor plumes. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

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) sensor to ...

(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.

Researchers from the University of Melbourne, Beijing Forestry University, and the University of California Davis report that an insect’s ability to find food and a mate is reduced when their antennae ...

Researchers report that an insect's ability to find food and a mate is reduced when their antennae are contaminated by particulate matter from industry, transport, bushfires, and other sources of air ...
