Researchers explore how the domesticated flightless silkworm moth (Bombyx mori), a prominent insect model in olfactory research, uses wing flapping to manipulate airflow, enhancing their ability to ...

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 ...

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 ...
