Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could change shape to run obstacle courses, carry objects, ...

A magnetic robot that can alternate between solid and liquid form may one day be used on soldering machines, screws for smart assembly and even delivering drugs to your stomach. Researchers at Sun Yat ...

Scientists created a robot that can transform between liquid and solid, a study published in Matter said. In one experiment, the robot liquefied to escape a cage. Researchers said they hope to use ...

In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed the ...

Inspired by sea cucumbers, engineers have designed miniature robots that rapidly and reversibly shift between liquid and solid states. On top of being able to shape-shift, the robots are magnetic and ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists continue to make intriguing breakthroughs that could help reshape our lives. This time, a group of scientists managed to create a shape-shifting liquid metal that can transition between the ...

If we’re afraid that they might one day take over the world, wouldn’t teaching robots how to escape from jail not be the wisest decision? Too late, someone already did it. Researchers at Carnegie ...

Schools of fish, colonies of bees, and murmurations of starlings exhibit swarming behavior in nature, flowing like a liquid in synchronized, shape-shifting coordination. Through the lens of fluid ...
