There are some places on Earth that humans simply can't go. Mount Erebus in Antarctica is a good example. The second tallest volcano in the continent offers a potential treasure trove of ancient DNA ...

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday showcased a pair of bio-inspired robotics running on a hydraulic fluid-powered battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) also mimics biological functions, as it ...

Dean chats with Dr. Riddhi Das, a soft robotics researcher developing earthworm-inspired robots for planetary exploration. They discuss how these wriggly-yet-rigid innovations, with autonomous drive ...

Harvard researchers have turned the nightmarish behavior of California blackworms into the foundation for a new kind of robotic swarm system. A team led by Justin Werfel at the Harvard John A. Paulson ...

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...
