MIT researchers are building insect-sized robots that can fly, swim, jump on water, and even use tiny explosions to move.

Pollination is a crucial part of global food production. And yet, bee populations continue to decline as we rip away their habitats, continue to fail in our fight against climate change, and use ...

MIT researchers are building robot insects to mimic the way real bugs fly, crawl, and sense their environment. These micro-machines are designed to test lightweight materials, flexible electronics, ...

Forget robot wolves and missile-deflecting satellites — those things are already becoming old news. Instead, future wars just might revolve around insect-size spy robots. A recent digest of ...

About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...
