You know those scientific displays of labelled insects stuck on pins? Well, they decay over time, and sometimes even get eaten by an insect known as the museum beetle. That's why German scientists ...

High-resolution fossil scans give detailed portraits of 300-million-year-old juvenile insects. Researchers have constructed three-dimensional (3D) portraits of two 300-million-year-old insect nymphs ...

Conventional approaches to cyborg insect preparation involve cutting antennae or cerci (sensory appendages) to implant electrodes, or using adhesives ...

Scientists have developed a cost-effective, off-the-shelf system to obtain natural-color 3-D models of insects. Scientists studying insects rely on collected specimens that are often shared between ...

The serious bug collector will tell you that no entomological compendium is ever truly complete. Even the most vivid color-wheels of butterflies are missing something—often many somethings—either ...

A study on Tyneside using miniature glasses has proved that mantis insects use 3D vision - providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. Most knowledge about 3D vision has come from ...

Miniature glasses have proved that mantises use 3-D vision, providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. 3D vision in mantises was originally shown in the 1980s but this work used ...

It's easy to forget that the world is not as it seems. We humans are equipped with a particular set of senses that give us particular insight into the world—we see in visible light, for instance, not ...

Miniature glasses have proved that mantises use 3D vision, providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. - Most knowledge about 3D vision has come from vertebrates, however, a ...
