An international research team led by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has achieved a breakthrough in the field of medical microrobots by developing the world's first antibiofilm ...

A joint research team has successfully developed a next-generation soft robot based on liquid. The research was published in Science Advances. Biological cells possess the ability to deform, freely ...

Yiannis Levendis, a professor at Northeastern University, has developed a robotic firefighting prototype that ...

How can soft robots be enhanced while reducing the need for gears and motors? This is what a recent study published in Advanced Functional Materials hopes to address as a team of scientists ...

A Northeastern prototype firefighting robot uses cryogenic liquid nitrogen spray on small fires, with researchers exploring future wildfire response.

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced nearly $10 million for seven projects that will accelerate development and testing of marine energy technologies. These investments advance research ...

The Soft Machines Lab at Carnegie Mellon University has created a rudimentary robot that can become a liquid on demand, a capability the lead author compared to the T-1000 from Terminator 2. Share on ...

Dynamic liquid crystal elastomer composites enable a 3D-printed soft robot that switches between three propulsion modes on water and reshapes its body for complex tasks. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Living ...

Liquid Robotics, the pioneer of wave and solar powered ocean robots, today announced that its fleets of Wave Gliders have reached 1 million nautical miles at sea — an important milestone for the ...

Reviewing the Department of Defense's daily digest of contract awards (as one does), you tend to get a good idea of who "the usual suspects" are at the Pentagon. Big defense names like RTX, Lockheed ...

Schools of fish, colonies of bees, and murmurations of starlings exhibit swarming behavior in nature, flowing like a liquid in synchronized, shape-shifting coordination. Through the lens of fluid ...
