A mosquito proboscis repurposed as a 3-D printing nozzle can print filaments around 20 micrometers wide, half the width of a ...

Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead ...

I've found compelling, if possibly coincidental, evidence for what Pokemon Gen 10's water starter may be, and it lines up ...

Researchers repurpose a mosquito’s proboscis for 3D necroprinting, offering a lower-cost and biodegradable alternative to ...

A mosquito has a very finely tuned proboscis that is excellent at slipping through your skin to suck out the blood beneath. Researchers at McGill University recently figured that the same biological ...

Primates are the most fascinating and diverse mammals on Earth, ranging from familiar monkeys to bizarre, unusual and ...

Just as when we humans reach for objects, the hummingbird hawk moth uses its visual sense to place its long proboscis precisely on a flower to search for nectar, according to biologists. This is why ...

Endemic to the island of Borneo, the humble proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) tries its best to survive despite several threats that pit all odds against it. Factors such as deforestation and ...

A previously unknown behavior pattern is only observed in a large animal very rarely – which is why new videos are nothing short of a sensation: They show proboscis monkeys regurgitating, chewing and ...

It may seem hard to believe, but male proboscis monkeys use their fleshy, pendulous noses to attract mates. Scientists think these outsize organs create an echo chamber that amplifies the monkey’s ...

A research team from McGill University and Drexel University has transformed female mosquito feeding tubes into ultra-high-resolution 3D-printing nozzles. The approach allows printers to lay down ...
