Scientists Develop a Shape-Shifting Material Activated by a String Pull

Applied Science, Robotics /

There’s a subtle boundary between mathematics and art—and it seems materials science and paper art share one as well. At first look, the flat, tiled grid created by MIT researchers appears unremarkable.A single pull of the string transforms the grid into its designed 3D form. Inspired by kirigami, the new material could serve in medical

Cornell’s Robot Jellyfish and Worm run on a Hydraulic Fluid Battery

Applied Science, Robotics /

Researchers at Cornell University on Monday unveiled two bio-inspired robots powered by a hydraulic fluid battery. The redox flow battery (RFB) mimics biological processes by releasing electrolytic fluids that generate energy through chemical reactions. The showcased robots—a modular worm and a jellyfish—were developed by Cornell Engineering labs. Their batteries use “embodied energy,” integrating power sources
