In a life-critical situation man-made sensors can take minutes to detect the presence of gas or explosives in the air. A moth however is able to sense explosive pheromones in a matter of seconds.To replicate this instinct, researchers have 3D printed the feathery antenna of a North American polyphemus moth.
