Robotic Bugs
Researchers have developed a
flexible, sensor-laden
artificial antenna to help a
robotic "bug" move and
navigate just like the
common cockroach. The bug
can curry along walls, turn
corners, avoid obstacles,

Battle of the 'Bots
At an international
high-school contest based in
Connecticut, students
compete with their home-made
robots. The goal for the
robots is to navigate a
maze, find a fire, and put
it out in the shortest

Robotic Camera Will Take Motion X-Rays by Following Patients' Movements
Orthopedic injuries are among the most common reasons people visit the doctor. Whether it's pain in the knee, hip or shoulder, doctors have a difficult time making an exact diagnosis without surgery. ... > more -
Mimicking Insects to Avoid Sinking Using Surface Tension
A new robot made of ultralight carbon-fiber can stand or slowly walk on water. The principle it uses is borrowed from insects -- surface tension tends to prevent the water's surface from breaking, ... > more -
Doctors and Engineers Develop Virtual-Reality Recovery for Stroke Victims
Stroke survivors can often recover the use of a paralyzed arm, but it's a slow process. This could become easier with a new system made of a robotic arm and virtual reality software. The robot ... > more -
1,400 Students Showcase Inventions at Science and Engineering Fair
Some of the nation's most talented students converged on Phoenix on May 8-13 to show their inventions at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the world's largest competition of its ... > more -
Biochemists Develop Diagnostic Tool to ID Strains Faster
Biochemists have developed a new tool that can identify a strain of influenza in hours, instead of the usual days or weeks, potentially speeding up the development of new vaccines. A sample of the ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Monitor Environment with Robotic Sensors
Fleets of robotic sensors, networking through thin cables, can track environmental changes such as biogeochemical cycles or loss of biodiversity, helping to manage wild lands. The technology is the ... > more -
FDA Approves Surgical Procedure to Alleviate Shoulder Pain
Patients who suffer from debilitating shoulder pain due to arthritis or to a torn rotator cuff may benefit from new kind of prosthesis. The procedure, which has been performed successfully in use in ... > more -
Chemists Create Self-assembling Conductive Rubber
Polymer chemists have created a flexible, indestructible material, called metal rubber, that can be heated, frozen, washed or doused with jet fuel, and still retain its electricity-conducting ... > more -
Engineers Measure Blood Alcohol Content With Spectroscopy
Using optical technology, engineers created a way to measure the amount of alcohol in a driver’s skin. They use near-infrared absorption spectroscopy to measure blood alcohol content. The light ... > more -
Acoustical Oceanographers Record Noises in the Deep
Manmade and natural sounds, from boat engines to rainfall, sound different below the sea surface. To study their impact of noise on marine life, scientists are submerging devices called Passive ... > more
