If you’ve ever watched a dragonfly zig and zag over a pond in search of dinner, you know how fast these gauzy-winged insects can move. In less than half the time it takes a human eye to blink, a ...

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories led by computational neuroscientist Frances Chance are looking to the common dragonfly for clues to develop smaller, more efficient missile defenses. By ...

WASHINGTON — A computational neuroscientist is studying whether a dragonfly’s excellent hunting skills can be replicated in a missile’s ability to maneuver and destroy targets midair with better ...
