Spore-adically, new drones impress us. Take this
This type of drone is perfect for flying over sensitive environments, or better yet, to conceal spying, says Lynn Rothschild of NASA's Ames Research Center, an adviser for the student team that created it.
"No one would know if you'd spilled some sugar water or if there'd been an airplane there," she told New Scientist.
The body of the prototype drone is made from the vegetative part of fungi called mycelium. The drone is covered in sheets of lab-grown bacteria.
