Updating fluid-powered machines: Scientists design bizarre-looking lionfish powered by a blood-like compound
You’ve heard of robots that can run, lift, jump and crawl. Now, prepare to see one that can bleed. In a paper published in the scientific journal Nature, a joint team of researchers from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania detailed how they built a soft robotic lionfish, complete with a multi-functional circulatory system. […]

Engineers develop robot gripping arm that “tastes” using bacteria
Much like how octopuses and squids use their tentacles, a new biohybrid robot developed by a joint team of researchers uses its fingers to “taste” the world around it. Created by a team of researchers from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), the biohybrid robot uses a bioengineered strain […]

Scientists develop new insulation material inspired by polar bears
It’s a well-known fact that living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials over geological time through a process called natural selection. These include unique properties such as hydrophobicity or natural waterproofing, heat retention, bioluminescence and coloration as well as unique methods of flight and locomotion. Throughout history, scientists and engineers have made it a […]

The quest to cool your electronics continues: New polymer can disperse heat
Overheating gadgets and devices may soon become a thing of the past, thanks to a new material developed by scientists at Rice University. Researchers from Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering recently unveiled a nanocomposite material that shows great promise as a superior dielectric or insulating material, which can then be used for flexible electronics, energy storage and electronic devices. Created […]

Scientists use computer simulations to understand the possibility of hyperspace travel via black holes
One of the most common tropes in science fiction involves the use of black holes as portals to other dimensions or points in time. A recent study suggests that such a scenario may be closer to reality than it is to fantasy. While scientists have predominantly believed that using black holes – a region of space-time exhibiting […]

The truth about antimatter: Experiment confirms it is BOTH a particle and a wave
Antimatter – defined by modern physics as sub-atomic particles that have properties opposite normal sub-atomic particles – has recently been confirmed as both a particle and a wave. In a study published in the journal Scientific Advances, a team of physicists from Italian and Swiss institutions, said they made the discovery after subjecting positrons, or positively charged antimatter particles, […]

They might be rare, but “superflares” could threaten Earth within the next 100 years or so, caution scientists
Despite its age, our Sun still packs quite a punch. In a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, an international team of astronomers found that the Sun is still capable of producing superflares, which are powerful bursts of radiation capable of frying communication lines and triggering large-scale blackouts. They can also cause widespread disruption […]

Swedish scientists compile a “microfossil atlas” to help NASA learn more about Martian microfossils
Scientists looking for signs of life on Mars may need to take a deep dive first – literally. According to a study published in Frontiers in Earth Science, the upcoming Mars expeditions by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) – both of which have the specific aim to […]

Stanford researchers create dog-like robot that anyone can create and modify
You’ve heard about adopting dogs from shelters, but have you heard about building one from scratch? Members of the Stanford Student Robotics club’s Extreme Mobility team at Stanford University recently developed a four-legged robot that not only performs acrobatic tricks, but also traverses challenging terrain. Dubbed “Stanford Doggo” by the team, the beagle-sized robot is the […]

Computer scientists design AI system with human-like vision, with possible applications for search-and-rescue missions (or building terminators)
Soon, computers and robots might be looking at the world with a slightly more human point of view. In a study published in Science Robotics, researchers successfully taught an artificial intelligence (AI) agent – a computer system with the ability to endow robots or other machines with intelligence – the human-like ability to infer its entire environment from just […]
