An Aerial Microrobot Can Reach Speeds Similar To a Bumblebee’s

Engineering, Robotics / Jorge Paka

In the future, small flying robots could be used to help locate survivors trapped under rubble after a major earthquake. Much like insects, these robots would be able to navigate through narrow gaps that larger machines cannot, while avoiding obstacles and falling debris. Until now, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along

Using Magnetic Fields, Soft Robots Can now Operate More Intelligently On Their Own

Engineering, Robotics / Valeriano Ndeyi

Soft robots excel at flexing and handling delicate objects, allowing them to navigate tight or fragile environments to grow coral larvae in labs or inspect chemical plant piping. Yet it is still difficult to achieve true embodied intelligence in these robots, where sensing, actuation, and power all function together without external tethering. Magnetic Fields Boost

New Reactor Recycles Battery Waste into Lithium Feedstock

Engineering, Material & Energy, Material Technology / Eduardo Paulo

As electric vehicle use rises worldwide, discarded battery packs are rapidly turning into a significant waste source. Lithium is expensive to extract, and most existing recycling techniques consume substantial energy and chemicals, typically yielding lithium carbonate that still requires additional processing to become reusable lithium hydroxide. Instead of smelting or leaching shredded battery material (“black
