Equipping robots with fast odor sensors will allow them to detect and react to environmental cues in real time. This will enable more efficient navigation and decision making in challenging scenarios, ...

Particle guidance by the flapping of flightless silkworm moths was quantified by computational fluid dynamic analyses. (a) The flapping silkworm moths were filmed by two high-speed cameras (1,000 fps) ...

NAGANO, Japan >> Researchers in Japan have developed an odor-detecting drone that uses antennae taken from insects. The “insect drone” can autonomously find its way to the source of an odor. The ...

Eight dogs of various breeds collaborated on the study, four of which were recruited from the Penn Vet Working Dog Center and four from their community science program, which includes dogs that ...

A longstanding hypothesis in neurobiology was that a single neuron releases a single type of neurotransmitter, a molecule used by neurons to communicate with one another. In recent decades, several ...

The technology detects unique volatile organic compounds each mold species emits, creating distinct “odor signatures” the ...

SEATTLE — K-9 police dogs had their noses put to the test in the National Odor Recognition Testing course Wednesday. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) hosted the course ...

CHEBOYGAN COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- Cheboygan’s East Elementary School will remain closed Wednesday after a strange odor led to the detection of higher carbon dioxide levels inside. An HVAC team ...

People who carry the gene variant associated with the strongest risk for Alzheimer's disease may lose their ability to detect odors earlier than people who do not carry the gene variant, which may be ...

After extensive training and testing with six shelter dogs in laboratory and field settings, researchers have found that dogs are highly accurate at detecting chronic wasting disease in both farmed ...
