Scientists at University of California, Berkeley, used tiny computers and wireless radios, strapped onto the backs of giant flower beetles, to record neuromuscular data as the bugs flew untethered. The findings show that a muscle known for controlling the folding of wings is also critical to steering. Researchers then used that information to improve the […]
