A team of scientists from the Beijing Institute of Technology in China developed the world’s lightest brain controller, weighing only 74 milligrams, designed to guide the flight of bees. This breakthrough turns bees into insect cyborgs capable of being used for military and rescue operations in areas that are difficult for humans or machines to access. The device works by sending electronic signals through tiny needles inserted into the bee’s brain, allowing precise control of its movements. Inspired by earlier efforts in Singapore, this Chinese version is significantly lighter and represents a major advancement in bio-robotics and mind-machine interfaces.
