Researchers plan to save lives by identifying the sound of malaria-carrying species
Artificial intelligence researchers have developed a mosquito early warning system that raises the alarm when the insects are near by detecting the whine of their wingbeats.
The system uses an app that can run on a 20 mobile phone to analyse sounds in the environment and issue a warning if it hears the telltale buzz as a mosquito swoops past.
