MIT scientists are developing robotic insects that can help with pollination, potentially boosting crop production without ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

Many people have had the same bad dream at some point. You’re walking through the woods or working on the outside of the ...

Researchers have hacked living cockroaches to create new search-and-rescue tech.

In almost all of the dance flies from the subfamily included in the study, the males bring nuptial gifts to the mating swarm in the form of insects. During mating, the female feeds on the male's ...

And leaving bright outdoor lights on at night can cause water bugs to swarm outside your house. Giant water bugs can harm humans and pets with their venomous bites. Do water bugs bite?

Researchers have developed a technology to control swarms of insects equipped with electronic sensors. These cyborgs could significantly improve the efficiency of rescue missions in disaster zones.

To help make this idea a reality, MIT researchers are developing robotic insects that could someday swarm out of mechanical hives to rapidly perform precise pollination. However, even the best bug ...

With bloated bellies and hairy legs, female flies try to look bigger to get food from courting mates. But male flies, in turn, have sharpened their eyesight to call their bluff. A new study suggests ...
