These Micro-Robots Were Inspired by Mini-Bugs and Water Striders

Robotics, Science /

The conceptual framework of two diminutive insect-inspired robots could eventually be applied to environmental monitoring, surgical procedures, and search-and-rescue missions. Weighing eight and 55 milligrams, these bots, modeled after a mini-bug and a water strider, are claimed to potentially be the world’s “smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional” micro-robots, as per Washington State University reports.

How the Brain Decodes Speech: Special Neurons Process Specific Sounds

Neuroscience, Science /

Delicate probes, as thin as wires, inserted into the brains of living individuals reveal the functions performed by individual neurons. An unparalleled degree of insight into how humans comprehend speech has been made possible by recordings from hundreds of individual neurons while patients undergoing brain surgery listened to this and 199 other sentences. The findings
