| New-generation 'thinking' biomimetic robots developed as ocean engineering solutions Posted: 23 Dec 2014 05:41 AM PST Researchers are closer to creating underwater robotic creatures with a brain of their own -- besides behaving like the real thing. In the near future, it would not be too tall an order for the team to produce a swarm of autonomous tiny robotic sea turtles and fishes for example, to perform hazardous missions such as detecting nuclear wastes underwater or other tasks too dangerous for humans. |
| Hands on: Crafting ultrathin color coatings Posted: 22 Dec 2014 01:55 PM PST An ultra-thin layer of a metal and a semiconductor could be applied to essentially any rough or flexible material to produce a vividly colored coating, researchers report. The technique, which exploits optical interference effects, could potentially be used on wearable fabrics or stretchable electronics. |
