The 200 hp mark still serves as a benchmark for knuckle-whitening performance, though, and Kawasaki has a handful of bikes ...

Historically, creating a universal mathematical model for such a diverse range of flying abilities has been challenging ... In contrast, smaller creatures like insects and small birds flap their wings ...

Most insects can rest their wings against their bodies for protection ... This research has relied on high-speed imaging and robotic models to suggest that elytra and flapping forces, rather ...

Mutual interference between searching insect parasites provides theoretical support for current biological control practices.

Abstract: This article presents a novel compound aerial vehicle configuration called the hybrid quadplane with all-moving wings (HQWAWs), and provides a six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) flight dynamics ...

What is the planetary timeline for the evolution of wings? First, insects evolved flight in the Carboniferous era which occurred about 300 million years ago. Quite a while later, pterosaurs ...

Fei-Fei Li officially launched her new startup, World Labs, with $230 M in funding from top VCs like Andreessen. Neuralink is ...

In a world of insects, there are tons of mimics. Often, this is a survival strategy. Mimicking other insects can protect you, especially if those other insects are toxic or sting. It’s fairly common ...

MIT researchers have pioneered a method to observe and image the development of scales on butterfly wings during ...

This important manuscript uses a machine-learning approach to predict and annotate cis-regulatory elements across insect genomes, helping to address a much-needed gap in comparative genomics. This ...
