www.polytec.com Crickets possess a hair array that can detect minute changes in air flow measuring particle velocity. It is one of the most sensitive sensory systems known to man. By understanding how this highly sensitive bio-sensor works, we open the door to engineering new sensors that substitute microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology for insect biology. The motivation for this res...
