In a redeeming development for one of nature’s most universally denounced pests, researchers from McGill and Drexel Universities have discovered that mosquito stingers might one day be used for ...

A dead mosquito's feeding tube costs about 80 cents. A commercial glass nozzle for high-resolution 3D printing runs around ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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?

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 ...
