Remote-controlled cockroach swarm can now breathe underwater

Scientists have equipped cockroaches with tiny 3D-printed diving suits that let them survive underwater for up to three hours, opening the door to cyborg insect swarms capable of exploring disaster zones and even extraterrestrial environments like Mars. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we handle rescue missions in submerged or hazardous areas by deploying a remote-controlled swarm that can navigate and assess conditions that are otherwise inaccessible. The implications extend to potential future missions to other planets where traditional rovers might struggle.
