Bombardier beetles, which exist on every continent except Antarctica, have a pretty easy life. Virtually no other animals prey on them, because of one particularly effective defense mechanism: When ...
The bombardier beetle is inspiring designers of engines, drug-delivery devices and fire extinguishers to improve spray technologies. The bombardier beetle, found mainly in Africa and Asia, is ...
Researchers used intense X-rays at the Advanced Photon Source, located at Argonne National Laboratory, to study how the bombardier beetle sprays hot, caustic chemicals from two rear glands when ...
To fend off predators, bombardier beetles spray a hot, irritating liquid from a gland that behaves like a microscopic chemical reactor. Researchers have now used synchrotron X-ray imaging to reveal ...
Someone fitted a rocket on the back of a Volkswagen Beetle resulting in it spewing flames longer than its body. What could possibly go wrong? Volkswagen Beetles are probably the least expected ...
