I have been a science fiction fan for as long as I can remember. Despite my wide reading in this genre, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) never ceases to amaze me. The work they fund is straight from the pages of the books I read in my youth.
I found this blog post about a project presented this week at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), in Baltimore, Md. Cornell University engineers presented their work with hybrid cybernetic organisms. In a nutshell, they are able to control the flight path of an insect. These can be used for stealthy military reconnaissance, etc.
