If you want to gather climate-change data from the deep ocean, why not just hitch a ride with an organism that’s going down there anyways? That’s the thinking which led to the creation of “biohybrid jellyfish” which pack not one but two speed-boosting … Continue reading Speedy biohybrid jellyfish are part-gelatinous, part-machine
What if you could rebuild a jellyfish: better, stronger, faster than it was before? Caltech now has the technology to build bionic jellyfish. Studying the ocean given its influence on …read more Continue reading The Six Million Dollar Jellyfish
An experimental new forensic spray allows latent fingerprints to be made visible in just 10 seconds, plus it doesn’t require the use of any messy powders. What it does incorporate, however, is a glowing protein that’s obtained from jellyfish.Continue R… Continue reading Glowing jellyfish protein lights the way for better lifting of fingerprints
Due to their unique way of moving through the water, jellyfish are frequently used as inspiration for soft, water-based robots. Now, researchers have discovered that the flapping propulsion system of a robotic jellyfish is not only good for movement, b… Continue reading Robotic jellyfish can suck up ocean debris without touching it
When it comes to developing robots that can move efficiently through water, scientists regularly turn to creature’s like squid and jellyfish for inspiration, and a UK research team has just produced one that can swim with the best of them. The soft and… Continue reading Jellyfish-inspired robot moves like nature’s most efficient swimmer
When it comes to developing robots that can move efficiently through water, scientists regularly turn to creature’s like squid and jellyfish for inspiration, and a UK research team has just produced one that can swim with the best of them. The soft and… Continue reading Jellyfish-inspired robot moves like nature’s most efficient swimmer
The unique movement of jellyfish has made them a popular model of study for robotics researchers, who hope to develop advanced new machines that move with great efficiency. Scientists are now showing off a new breed of soft robots inspired by these mar… Continue reading Air-powered robotic jellyfish outpaces its real-life rivals
Although jellyfish may not be the fastest animals in the ocean, they do swim in an energy-efficient manner – a manner that underwater robots might do well to copy. With that in mind, Chinese scientists have created a robotic jellyfish, that m… Continue reading Robotic jellyfish takes to the water without a tether
A team of engineers in Germany has created a tiny jellyfish-inspired robot, which can not only swim, but transport objects, mix fluids and even bury itself. It’s hoped the five-millimeter tetherless “jellyfishbot” could help us understand the… Continue reading "Jellyfishbot" could shed light on ocean environments and deliver drugs inside the body
