Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...

Dynamic microscopic robots have been developed to respond to their surroundings, potentially offering a vessel for delivering medicine or cleaning up pollution. Researchers at the University of North ...

Discovered: cheaper DNA sequencing, a hopeful HIV mouse study, chewing gum for weight loss, when robots act self-aware, and a math model to identify the origin of one's beer. Mouse study that used a ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

In an innovative fusion of biology and nanotechnology, scientists at the University of North Carolina (UNC) have developed microscopic soft robots that mimic the adaptive behavior of living organisms.
