The Cyborg Beetle
Man has yet to master nature, but now he can make it turn left.
Armed with funding from the Pentagon's research wing, an engineering
team at the University of California, Berkeley, has devised a method
of remotely controlling the flight of beetles. By attaching radio
antennas and embedding electrodes in the insects' optic lobes, flight
muscles and brains, professors Michel Maharbiz and Hirotaka Sato
can manipulate their subjects into taking off, hovering in midair
and turning on command. The trick? Wirelessly delivering jolts to
a microbattery fastened to a circuit board atop the hapless insects,
whose agility and capacity to tote valuable payloads could make
the tiny creatures the ultimate fly on the wall.
