Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed advanced robotic insects that could aid ...

The world’s estimated 5 million species of insects are critically important to nearly every ecosystem on the planet. Among these highly successful arthropods, nearly 200,000 species are considered ...

Robotic insects modeled after bees are set to revolutionize pollination, boosting crop yields and transforming agriculture.

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT in the United States have developed bug-sized robots that are more ...

The population of pollinating insects like bees was halved due to use of fertilisers. Extensive use of fertilisers in agriculture grasslands significantly reduces the population of pollinators and ...

Today the humble honey bee provides us with a significant proportion of the food that we eat, all thanks to its action as a pollinating insect. And a large proportion of the world’s food supply ...

MIT's new robotic insects, inspired by bees, achieve longer flights and enhanced precision, paving the way for autonomous ...

Move over bees, MIT researchers have developed a robot insect for artificial pollination to underpin an entirely indoor farm ...

New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables ...

Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable? This question makes me smile because they are both. The same can be said of cucumbers, ...
