(Nanowerk News) Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They don't even have brains. Yet, these simple creatures can easily journey to the depths of the oceans in a way that ...
University of Colorado Boulder Professor Nicole Xu is developing biohybrid robotic jellyfish by integrating tiny microelectronic systems into the live animals. Xu has about 15 to 20 moon jellyfish in ...
At the Dabiri Lab, researchers are embedding microelectric controllers into jellyfish, creating "biohybrid" devices. For years, science fiction has promised a future filled with robots that can swim, ...
While many beachgoers may see jellyfish as the bane of existence, Nicole Xu sees them as a potential ally in learning more about how climate change is affecting the oceans. The assistant professor in ...
If you’ve ever visited an Israeli beach during jellyfish season and watched a swarm of graceful jellies float through the sea, you might think that they’ve found real inner peace, casually drifting ...
No brain, no problem. Despite their simplistic make-up, jellyfish use a decentralized system to navigate their environments. Read more.
This time-lapse composite image shows a biohybrid robot jellyfish descending through the three-story tank designed for testing the swimming abilities of the modified creatures. Jellyfish can't do much ...
