Predation experiments using models of edible flies and stinging wasps provide some answers to a long-standing evolutionary puzzle in mimicry research. The researchers began by training wild great tits ...

Princeton engineers investigated the secret to grasshoppers' efficient gliding, inspiring a new approach for robotic flight.

The key to solving future food supply problems might be 3D Printing! A team of researchers at the Singapore University of Technology & Design (SUTD) aims to provide a solution to address food supply ...

Experts from the University of Nottingham have created life-size 3D-printed insect models to explore how some species trick predators into thinking they're more dangerous than they really are—and ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

(A) Wearable device for the antennae: (i) A 3D model of the cockroach’s head was used as a reference to design the wearable device for the antennae. (ii) Two hooking mechanisms were incorporated to ...

A big reason I love 3D printing is the massive community of 3D-printing enthusiasts online. There are times when I'm either too lazy to make my own designs or I just don't have the required technical ...
