Paper, The mechanics and interactions of electrically sensitive mechanoreceptive hair arrays of arthropods
A study conducted in 23 March 2022 by bio researchers Ryan A. Palmer, Isaac V. Chenchiah and Daniel Robert reveal the complex mechanism of electrically sensitive mechanoreceptive hair arrays on arthropods. It was found that many arthropods use the electrostatic interaction between their electrically charged sensory hairs and electrical fields in their surroundings to swiftly and efficiently collect accurate information about their surroundings. This discovery could potentially shed insight on new data collection apparatus for research and combat alike.
