EPFL researchers use fruit fly brains and optogenetics to develop agile robotic systems, bridging neuroscience and advanced ...

Researchers at EPFL's Neuroengineering Laboratory, led by Pavan Ramdya, aim to replicate the workings of the brain of the ...

Fruit flies are at their worst when the weather warms. We asked a certified bug expert about the best ways to keep them out ...

Now it is shown that the decision of cell nuclei to either migrate to the outer cortex or remain internalized in fruit fly embryos depends on topology.

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a new study. The paradox of enhanced memory despite sleep loss could be explained ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Engineers in Somerset are building a helicopter that is set to fly itself - without the need for humans to operate it remotely - in a research project for the Royal Navy. There have been ...

It’s a different story on Wizz Air, which only uses the smaller, single-aisle jets. Most of us are more than happy to fly that way when nipping to Berlin or Budapest, but it can be a very ...

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A northern Virginia judge determined embryos are not property that can be divided up, rejecting a previous analysis by the court saying such fertilized eggs could be ...

The quick response to the discovery of another fruit fly in Auckland is being praised by fruit and vegetable growers. Horticulture New Zealand (HortNZ) chief executive Kate Scott says growers will ...
