A team of bioengineers at Harvard University's Rowland Institute has found two new ways to control a tiny creature, essentially turning it into a micro-robot. In their study published in the ...

In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed the ...

If you've ever wanted a robotic duck as a companion, now's your chance.

Engineers at Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unlocked a way to transform basic sound waves into powerful directional thrust. The technique could create functional ...

When bacteria infect our bodies, they sometimes form sticky mats of sugars and proteins called biofilms to protect themselves. This viscous layer makes it difficult for antibiotics and immune cells to ...

During my visit to Japan last month, meetings with financial institutions and technology labs in Tokyo revealed a trend quietly gaining momentum: swarm finance. I came to these conversations not as a ...

The idea of investing in micro-robots is to have an array of devices that can go into areas that cannot be readily accessed, such as being sent down narrow pipes, or into the air, or seas, or for use ...
