Studying the human brain is difficult because of its vast and intricate network of neural connections. The fruit fly offers a simpler but similar model that researchers can more easily map.
People have been flying airplanes for well over a century. Engineers know how to balance all the forces at play, but still aren’t exactly sure how some of the physics of flight actually works.
Not much is known about the predator fly Laphria saffrana. New research identified how they count the wingbeats of their favored prey, letting it slip out of focus before adjusting their heads.
A flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel is making a trip across the Atlantic. But is it really a greener way to fly?
The clock could be ticking for the travel industry unless action is taken to change our travel habits.
Flies often beat out competitors for food because of their specialized sensing organs called antennae.
Pulverised fuel ash can be recycled and used to manufacture concrete as well as other products.
