An international research team from the US, Canada, Germany, and Singapore have developed a miniature, implantable light-sheet generator that can be placed in a living animal’s brain. This device, also known as a photonic neural probe, is used to image brain activity in animals. Traditionally, this technology […]
The nervous system of the fly has been researched thoroughly by scientist, and have found out that the protein Rab2 has to be in the system for all the nerve cells to function. When removed acting like a “traffic jam” of the nervous system. This relates to humans, where people with […]
Boston University’s Biological Design Center and Department of Biomedical Engineering and Harvard University’s The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering collaborate to create a model to understand the human wound healing process better. They used an in-vitro model with human cells to replicating the wound closing process and how tissue forms […]
Researchers in Oregon State University have discovered that Murrelets choose their breeding site by eavesdropping on other murrelets. The seabirds population is steadily declining, making these publications important to further investigate how birds inform each other about where to nest. These birds feed in the ocean and […]
A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in China has developed a soft robot that can successfully swim in the Mariana Trench. In their paper published in the journal Nature,, the group describes their soft robot and its capabilities. Cecilia Laschi and Marcello Calisti with the National University of Singapore […]
New bio-inspired robots with soft, flexible parts might have the superpowers required to tackle the contemporary challenge of exploring and conserving ocean environments. Unlike their predecessors, such as the human-piloted Deepsea Challenger or the remote-controlled Hercules, these stealthy bots could navigate delicate environments by squishing into tight spaces, blending in with […]
A research team led by the University of Washington has developed Smellicopter: an autonomous drone that uses a live antenna from a moth to navigate toward smells. Smellicopter can also sense and avoid obstacles as it travels through the air. The team published these results Oct. 1 in the journal IOP […]
The creation of the robot was inspired by the bodily structure of sea creatures, who are able to survive the crazy pressure of the deep sea with their soft bodies. This robot can survive even the deepest parts of the world’s seas, the […]
Georgia Tech’s Center for Biologically Inspired Design consists of faculty that facilitate research, education, and training that further promotes biologically inspired design. The program offers K12 curricular materials that incorporate biological principles. This is created in order to foster imagination and curiosity about […]
Historically, individual California black worms are considered to be tropical fish food at the aquarium. However, a recent discovery found that multiple California blackworms can form a worm blob, which is a shape-shifting living liquid that prevents them from death and high-heat threats. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology reported […]
Stanford University’s Biodesign Innovation course allows students to delve into the areas of the health technology industry. Students will collaborate with experienced faculties and professionals in medicine, business, and engineering in order not only to innovate but also to invent new technology products to address the concerns […]
