A microrobot that mimics the movement of a starfish larva may one day lead to microswimmers that can deliver drugs to diseased cells with pinpoint accuracy.

Nature’s ultra low-power, ultra-sensitive detector arrays, also known as our retinas, should be the envy of smartphones everywhere.

Taking a cue from nacre in the inner layers of mollusk shells, scientists have created the toughest and strongest glass ever, a new study shows.

With a cue from sea slugs, researchers have taken a step towards making AI more reliable for use in surgical robots, self-driving cars, and more.

Understanding how honey bees transport pollen pellets to their hive may inspire new ways to manufacture and manipulate soft materials, researchers say.

The Venus' flower basket sponge could lead to advanced designs for structures that must respond safely to forces from the flow of air or water.

The "gecko gripper," equipped with grippy but not sticky adhesives, could prove well-suited for space tasks such as collecting debris and fixing satellites.
