Researchers have discovered that the tubular mouths of bloodsucking mosquitoes can be repurposed as tips for 3D printers. The ...

In a redeeming development for one of nature’s most universally denounced pests, researchers from McGill and Drexel Universities have discovered that mosquito stingers might one day be used for ...

Under a microscope, the mosquito’s proboscis looks like a tiny, precision tool. Thin, flexible, and sharp, it slips through skin almost unnoticed to draw blood. To most people, it’s a nuisance. To ...

I was fascinated to read that a mosquito’s proboscis can act as a surprisingly hardy 3D printer nozzle (29 November, p 18). I wonder if they can also manufacture a replacement mosquito proboscis?
