In the United States create a cyborg moths – Mangazia

In the United States create a cyborg moths American scientists have devised a way to implant elements moths radio to receive and accept a variety of signals from insects. The results of research will help them in several ways.

the United States are willing to accept commissioned a new miracle of technology – Radio-controlled moths. It is worth noting that the moths are not artificial, but very real, but with implanted electrodes. Bold experiment allowed to implant elements radio moths still in development, so that they have finally formed with electrodes.

This is a relatively more reliable and stable interface will be useful for many researchers studying the nervous system of insects, as it does not imply the traumatic effects caused by the implantation of electrodes adult individuals, the researchers from the University of North Carolina in its report published in the scientific journal Journal of Visualized Experiments. It is important to know that the implanted radioelement is able not only to transmit the signal from the moth scientist, but also work in the opposite direction.

It is impossible to say with certainty whether the electrode to act as a “remote control” for a moth now, or to set it up will require additional time. The main objective of the research team at the moment – work out the technology of implanting in order to completely avoid the traumatic effects.

In addition, the received signals allow to decipher the pattern of motion of the moth and its nervous system at this point. This will allow in the future to better control these insects and with absolute certainty to mimic their flight and the brain. Also, scientists expect to use, and other insects in the future.

The very same application range of radio-controlled moths wide, ranging from search and ending with intelligence operations. If successful, the scientists have bold ideas kontrrazvedovatelnyh services around the world have significantly increased headache. On the other hand, the emergency services to be as significantly increase the efficiency of their work, if little helpers will allow them to look back to where you do not be able to penetrate the standard tools.
