Scientists Innovate a Tiny Robot Fish That Eats up Microplastics in Ocean — and It Needs No Battery
A 13mm-long black fish silently patrols the ocean, not to feed or predate, but to clean. Soft and squishy to touch, the flesh of this fish is made of the same material as pearls are made of. As it ...
The boat-shaped robot takes advantage of the same phenomenon – the Marangoni effect – used by some aquatic insects to propel themselves across the surface of water. A chemical reaction within a tiny ...
Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...
In a joint advance from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, engineers have designed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever built – ...
