The tricky bit has been building something that can produce enough thrust while still being light enough to fly, without being tethered to an external power source. Now, a group of researchers have hit on a new design. At half the weight of a paper clip, &#8216;RoboBee X-wing&#8217; has achieved untethered flight using ultra-lightweight solar cells, powering piezoelectric actuators, via a stripped down circuit board. This technology is in its infancy, but could pave the way for a new generation of miniature drones. Researchers hope these insect-bots could manoeuvre around much more cramped spaces than conventional, larger drones, potentially helping with environmental and disaster monitoring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"emphasis\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>doi: 10.1038\/d41586-019-02007-7<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(\uc6d0\ubb38: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-019-02007-7?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nature%2Frss%2Fcurrent+%28Nature+-+Issue%29\">\uc5ec\uae30<\/a>\ub97c \ud074\ub9ad\ud558\uc138\uc694~)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Machine carries ultra-lightweight solar cells \u2014 and weighs less than a paper clip. &nbsp; &nbsp; \ub610\ub294 \uc5ec\uae30\ub97c \ud074\ub9ad\ud558\uc138\uc694~ &nbsp; Read the paper: Untethered flight<a href=\"https:\/\/biochemistry.khu.ac.kr\/lab\/?p=3861\" class=\"more-link\">(more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[36,29,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lets-do-physics","category-lets-do-science","category-recent-science-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3850,"url":"https:\/\/biochemistry.khu.ac.kr\/lab\/?p=3850","url_meta":{"origin":3861,"position":0},"title":"Flight of the RoboBee","author":"biochemistry","date":"June 27, 2019","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 \u00a0 Tiny flying vehicles require intricate design trade-offs and have previously relied on an external power supply.
