Lab-grown foie gras, edible insects and 3D-printed chocolate are among the food innovations likely to reach the public within ...

Technologies such as molecular farming are at an early stage, while reverse food manufacturing and 3D printing need longer-term monitoring.

Ants are very tiny, so conventional 3D scanners aren’t really going to do a very good job of capturing the insect geometry.

(A) Wearable device for the antennae: (i) A 3D model of the cockroach’s head was used as a reference to design the wearable device for the antennae. (ii) Two hooking mechanisms were incorporated to ...

Biomimicry and 3D printing have come together in new swarming ant and butterfly robots that act very much like their insect counterparts, the inventions of German robotics firm Festo. The company ...

In order to 3D-print really intricate items, you need a really fine print nozzle. Scientists have discovered that instead of going to the time and trouble of building one, you can simply repurpose a ...

A jumping spider considers a set of 3D printed insects, which include a fly (top right), a wasp (next to the spider) and a series of intermediate mimics generated by 3D morphing. A praying mantis ...
