From cells that migrate to tissues that heal, nature abounds with systems capable of sensing and adapting to their ...

One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

Researchers unveil molecular strategies that enable materials to move, transform, and self-assemble—bridging chemistry and ...

Pop culture has often depicted robots as cold, metallic, and menacing, built for domination, not compassion. But at Georgia ...

This dual cross-linking design lets the muscle switch stiffness on demand. In lab tests, its stiffness jumps from about 213 kilopascals — soft, like rubber — to 292 megapascals, hundreds of times ...

After vocal cord surgery, many patients develop stiff vocal folds that impact their ability to speak. Hydrogels can help prevent this by promoting healing, but delivering hydrogels to the vocal cords ...

Think of actuators as the robot’s muscles —the technology that enables humanoids to move. Actuators come in three types: ...

Artificial Intelligence may prove to be a more significant milestone than the harnessing of fire, or the invention of the wheel. It's the fastest-evolving technology the world has ever seen, with the ...

Inspired by the color-changing ability of cephalopods,researchers are developing a material to be used in sensors and soft robotics applications.

Researchers at Rice University have created an AI-powered soft robotic arm made from a new light-responsive elastomer.
