Materially engineered artificial pollinators are experimental radiowave-controlled micro-drones that use ionic liquid gels for artificial pollination without living insects.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
The researchers who are developing this technology published their findings in the 9 February issue of the journal Chem[1][9] and hope that their research will help counter the problems caused by declining honeybee populations, meeting the modern agricultural demands of colonies and benefit farmers.[1]
