Scientists turned a bunch of cockroaches into remote-controllable cyborgs — and then built them little scuba suits so they can swim underwater, transforming them into powerful amphibian troopers. Rest ...

A novel control system for cyborg insects uses charge-balanced biphasic electrical stimulation to enhance precision and reduce tissue damage. The system, tested on Madagascar hissing cockroaches, ...

(A) Maze channel design, (B) guiding electric stimulation, (C) punishing electric stimulation, and (D) punishing heat stimulation. The lower-right image is a thermal image of the maze surface. The ...
