Scientists create microscopic DNA 'flower robots' that can deliver drugs, heal wounds and even clean the planet. Scientists ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden are pioneering a new approach to robotics by creating a collective of small robots that function like a smart material. According to Matthew Devlin, a ...

A bioinspired robot can change shape to alter its own physical properties in response to its environment, resulting in a robust and efficient autonomous vehicle as well as a fresh approach to robotic ...

'We're not quite at the level where the robotic skin is as good as human skin, but we think it's better than anything else out there at the moment.' Image: Dr. David Hardman, University of Cambridge ...

In a hi-tech David versus Goliath story, a group of undergraduate students at Purdue University built a robot that crushed the world record for solving a Rubik’s cube once held by Mitsubishi, a ...

Researchers have developed a digital laboratory (dLab) system that fully automates the material synthesis and structural, physical property evaluation of thin-film samples. With dLab, the team can ...

The T-1000 in Terminator 2 could change shape at will, morph its hands into blades or turn parts of its body into a fluid to move through metal bars. “I saw this movie when I was a child—it was like, ...
