Researchers found that the insects' needle-like proboscis can function as a dispenser nozzle for 3D printing machines.

In a redeeming development for one of nature’s most universally denounced pests, researchers from McGill and Drexel ...

Researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University and Drexel University have developed an ...

Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead mosquitoes to print structures smaller than a human blood cell. The approach ...

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 ...

1. There are mosquito species that don't feed on humans. 2. Only the female mosquitos drink blood. The males drink nectar. I wonder if cloning just males would be economically feasible. Click to ...

I was fascinated to read that a mosquito’s proboscis can act as a surprisingly hardy 3D printer nozzle (29 November, p 18). I wonder if they can also manufacture a replacement mosquito proboscis?

My partner, who has a genuine phobia of needles (when it's time to draw blood, rapid breathing, dilated pupils, uncontolled tremors, etc), always wondered why they can't leverage mosquitoes to deliver ...
