Featured by @PNASNexus: a radar-based method to track which insect species are pollinating plants, not just how many.
Work involving @tcddublin and @DTUtweet, with Dr Linta Antony & Prof Nicola Marchetti.
Supported by @CONNECT_centre, @Microsoft and @E3_Trinity

A machine learning model trained on insects borrowed from the campus of Trinity College, Dublin, identifies insects by the radar reflection caused by the flapping of their wings. The model distinguishes bees from wasps with 96% accuracy. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/wi3T50YTyCs
ALT Dr. Linta Antony, the study’s first author, collecting insects for the study. Insects were released after the conclusion of the study.

Erectile dysfunction implants work well, but optimizing their safety and durability requires a deeper understanding of how these devices mechanically interact with human tissue.
Researchers created two preclinical tools – a physical lab model and a finite element model – to study what happens during inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) inflation. The lab model used soft polymer materials designed to behave like key penile tissue layers, and its results were compared with both human tissue measurements and computer simulations, showing close agreement across all three. Additional analyses showed that the size and stiffness of the tissue surrounding the implant strongly affect how the device inflates and performs.
Better models mean better implants, enabling smarter design, more informed surgical decisions, and improved long-term outcomes for patients.
