How can some fish, like tuna, achieve remarkable speed while others, like eels, excel in maneuverability? A research team ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have ...

The study of robotic fish and underwater vehicle dynamics presents a fascinating convergence of biomimetics and fluid mechanics. Drawing inspiration from the streamlined efficiency and manoeuvrability ...

A group of engineering students have developed a robotic fish to help solve mysteries of the ocean. The soft robotic underwater fish, called Eve, blends into a coral reef environment, allowing ...

What was once an idea submitted by a student for a university contest is now a working — or rather, swimming — prototype that could one day help clean the world's polluted waters. The robo-fish design ...

Some 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the nearest sea, engineering students at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich are hard at work on cutting-edge robots that may change the way the world’s oceans are studied.

Inspired by fish scales, scientists have engineered a flexible skin that makes soft robotic fish tougher and more agile, absorbing hits without sacrificing speed or smooth underwater motion. In an ...

An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have created a robotic fish that doesn’t just collect plastic pollution; ...
