Electrically heated elements turn from solids to liquids to provide flexibility to robotic building blocks. We use cookies to ...

How can some fish, like tuna, achieve remarkable speed while others, like eels, excel in maneuverability? A research team ...

Xiaoyue Ni watches a robotic fish with a reprogrammable tail swim in a fish tank. The proof-of-demonstration could lead to materials with reprogrammable material properties that could function inside ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have ...

If the argument that art imitates life holds true, than MIT’s fish-like soft robot ― a robot powered by fluid flowing through flexible channels ― is art. Researchers from the prestigious university ...

Inspired by fish scales, scientists have engineered a flexible skin that makes soft robotic fish tougher and more agile, absorbing hits without sacrificing speed or smooth underwater motion. In an ...

A robotic fish from engineers at the University of Surrey is making waves in the fight against plastic pollution. It doesn’t just collect plastic, it eats it to power itself. Using technology that ...
