Researchers examined the brain waves of children with and without autism to see how they process movement and body language.

Human brains constantly face ambiguous sensory inputs. To correctly perceive the world, our brains use a process known as causal inference.

Direct action can make the demands of a mainstream movement seem reasonable.

Soft ribbon robots that look like translucent rotini use heat to get around mazes without any help from humans or computer software.

A self-propelled robotic swimmer gives researchers a chance to see how bacteria and other microorganisms move at a much larger scale.

A new device holds the record for tallest jump at 100 feet up. Engineers took a new approach to give it extra jumping prowess.

A new device owes its height-jumping prowess to the size of its spring relative to its motor: it's nearly 100 times greater than that found in animals.

Tiny vinegar eels do "the wave" in a bead of water. "This wavelike collective motion has not been seen before in any other organisms this large."

"For every action the animal was performing in the cage, we were able to understand what calculations the neurons were doing in that brain."
