THE BRIEF
1

Researchers have engineered a new sonar-guided drone capable of detecting and hunting mosquitoes in mid-air without the use of chemical insecticides.

2

The technology utilizes ultrasonic sonar to identify the unique wingbeat 'fingerprint' of individual mosquito species to track them accurately during flight.

3

This innovation represents a new frontier in precision pest control, with potential applications for reducing the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases in affected regions.
