Insect-Inspired Technology: How Mosquito Antennae Could Help Detect Natural Disasters
In a fascinating intersection of biology and disaster prevention, researchers are investigating how the hearing mechanisms of insects, particularly mosquitoes, could enhance our ability to detect and respond to natural calamities such as earthquakes and tsunamis. This innovative approach was prompted by recent global events—namely, a powerful earthquake off the coast of Russia that triggered a series of tsunamis threatening surrounding countries.
