Many car companies including General motors, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, and Volvo have begun early testing of driverless car systems.

Stanford with its puny Volkswagen Touareg, nicknamed Stanley. It was an even match. Both teams used similar sensors and software,

The protein is very selective generally not harming insects in other orders (such as beetles flies bees and wasps.

The beetles don't carry disease but their larvae feed on the ash trees'sap effectively killing the trees by depriving trees of their nourishment.

Baker and a postdoctoral fellow in his lab Michael J. Domingue were using dead female EABS for bait to trap the male beetles.

The two researchers working with a graduate student in Lakhtakia's lab Drew P. Pulsifer created a mold of the top of the female beetle's body.

The decoy beetle is made by a process of layering polymers with different refractive indexes to create the desired iridescence

and create a color similar to the beetle's own iridescent green. The researchers'findings are scheduled to be published in the April issue of the Journal of Bionic Engineering.

They also ran a pilot test in Hungary with a related beetle pest that bores into oak trees.

#Femme fatale emerald ash borer decoy lures, kills malesan international team of researchers has designed decoys that mimic female emerald ash borer beetles

Specifically we coated a dead female beetle with a vapor of nickel and used the'nickelized'shell to fabricate two matching molds in the shape of a resting beetle said Akhlesh Lakhtakia Charles Godfrey Binder professor of engineering science and mechanics

The finished bioreplicated decoys retained the surface texture of the beetle at the nanoscale. Additionally we painted some decoys a metallic green.

According to Domingue the light-scattering properties of the beetle's shell--which the team experimentally demonstrated using a white laser--made the nano-bioreplicated decoys more lifelike and therefore more attractive to males than the non-textured 3d printed decoy.

Beetles appear to be able to recognize this feature of the decoys and are attracted strongly to it.

thus enabling us to figure out how these destructive beetles find each other to mate and how we can exploit this behavior

So we're using cellulosic biomass waste streams--corn cobs, treetops and limbs, dead pine trees from pine beetles.
