Thanks to their ability to emit and analyze ultrasound, bats can detect objects as thin as a human hair. How they are able to fly and hunt the tiniest prey in total darkness using "echo-location" fascinates researchers.

Superbat explores this sixth sense that bats had mastered over the eons, a talent that could revolutionize submarine sonar and robots' acoustic vision, and forge 21st century tools for the visually-impaired.
