It's all about "the birds and the bees." And now, "the silkworm moths and the fruit flies." A chemical ecologist and a genetics researcher at the University of California, Davis, have joined forces to ...

U.S. researchers at the University of California-Davis say they have successfully tricked fruit flies into believing silkworm moths are potential mates. It's all about "the birds and the bees." And ...

Particle guidance by the flapping of flightless silkworm moths was quantified by computational fluid dynamic analyses. (a) The flapping silkworm moths were filmed by two high-speed cameras (1,000 fps) ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers who studied silkworms, the larvae of the moth Bombyx mori, have found that higher levels of an enzyme known as NAD+ give them longer ...

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 ...

The notion of a robot ‘smelling’ its way through a complex environment has captured the imagination of scientists for years, but has always come with a caveat: what if the robot loses a sensor? In a ...

The silkworm moth, whose caterpillars have been used in silk production since antiquity, may have been brought to southern Central Asia 4,000 years ago—nearly 2,000 years earlier than previously ...
