Fumigating your room with a mosquito coil can prove to be lethal for your health. From making you breathless to causing cancer, it has the capacity to damage your health in many ways!
Brains are the most powerful computers known. Now microchips built to mimic insects’ nervous systems have been shown to successfully tackle technical computing problems like object recognition and data mining, researchers say.
The minute brains of flies process visual movements in only fractions of a second. Just how the brain of the fly manages to perceive motion with such speed and precision is predicted quite accurately by a mathematical model.
Insect farming is sustainable and more eco-friendly than other types of animal farming, which is a huge bonus.
Insects are a fantastic idea to feed people in poor communities and even offer them a source of income.
Eating insects is still a new concept for many, but it’s quickly gaining traction.
