A team of engineers at Cornell has developed an actuator that can function in a similar manner to muscles. The actuator’s design was inspired by octopus tentacles, and doesn’t require any complex parts. It was made using 3D printing and uses pneumatics and pressure differences to control […]
Rolf Mueller, a professor at Virginia Tech, has created a synthetic bat ear device that can determine the origin of any sound it picks up. Mueller was inspired by bats and their echolocation abilities, and focused specifically on the ability of their ears […]
A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China has invented a new bioinspired material that might just be able to replace petroleum based plastics. They were inspired by the hierarchically ordered structure of natural nacre and managed to mimic […]
