Pentagon's Cyborg Insects All Grown Up


Bioengineered insects have somehow survived into adulthood. The pentagon is closing in on being ready to infiltrate enemy camps and extract vital information with these electromechanical bugs. The insects have modified body structures and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) embedded within and those seeking to use these bugs are hoping to enable remote control of the bugs via "mechano-sensor activation" or something similar. Additionally, scientists are hoping to harness the energy emitted during locomotion to actually power the internal MEMS. This is a large break through, but there goes our privacy...
