(Nanowerk News) Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They don't even have brains. Yet, these simple creatures can easily journey to the depths of the oceans in a way that ...

University of Colorado Boulder Professor Nicole Xu is developing biohybrid robotic jellyfish by integrating tiny microelectronic systems into the live animals. Xu has about 15 to 20 moon jellyfish in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. At the Dabiri Lab, researchers are embedding microelectric controllers into jellyfish, creating "biohybrid" devices. For years, ...

Bionic jellyfish soon could help researchers find out more about the ocean. Engineers from Caltech and Stanford University have made tiny prosthetics that help jellyfish swim faster, a EurekAlert!

A cyborg jellyfish equipped with a swimming cap and an electric propulsion system can swim at four times its natural speed, and could be used for deep-sea exploration. John Dabiri at the California ...

If you want to gather climate-change data from the deep ocean, why not just hitch a ride with an organism that's going down there anyways? That's the thinking which led to the creation of "biohybrid ...

In a dark laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, soft pulses of light dance across the surface of a large aquarium. Inside, moon jellyfish move in slow, hypnotic patterns. Their clear, bell ...

In the same week that New South Wales experienced four shark attacks, Victorian beachgoers were warned about stinging ...

Researchers show how biohybrid robots based on jellyfish could be used to gather climate science data from deep in the Earth's oceans. Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They ...

This time-lapse composite image shows a biohybrid robot jellyfish descending through the three-story tank designed for testing the swimming abilities of the modified creatures. Jellyfish can't do much ...
