A new study conducted by CNRS researchers on the combined use of sunscreen and an insect repellent that is among the best selling in France during summer concludes that UV2 protection decreases after ...

Cyborg cockroaches guided by ultraviolet light and motion feedback navigate obstacles autonomously, showing how noninvasive control can coordinate biological movement with electronic sensing.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- When some insects zero in on a flower for nectar, their ultraviolet vision is guided by a bull's-eye "painted" on the plant by chemical compounds. Now, chemical ecologists at Cornell ...
