Beetles with microchip backpacks to help search and rescue crews


Listen Later

The common beetle could soon be our new superhero.


Dubbed ‘Cyborg’ beetles, these insects will be equipped with microchip backpacks, designed to help search and rescue crews locate survivors within hours instead of days after a disaster.


Scientists from the University of Cambridge have discovered that some species of microbe found in the human gut can absorb toxic and long-lasting ‘forever chemicals’, otherwise known as PFAS.
