Here’s How Wasps Have Inspired an Innovative New Tool for Keyhole Surgery
Dutch scientists have designed a new device to be used in keyhole surgeryâand it’s inspired by the way parasitoid wasps lay their eggs. At the moment, the tools used in such surgery can end up clogging because they use suction. This new tool doesn’t have that problem because it uses friction. According to the BBC, […]
