A device called an aerial screw, invented by Leonardo da Vinci more than 500 years ago, may hold the key to quieter drones.

Researchers have created a new drone that can land on high-up tree branches and collect DNA to help track biodiversity.

Taking inspiration from the shape of a to-go cup lid, researchers may have come up with a quicker way for drones to sense danger.

Using small drones for the last mile of package deliveries uses less energy and creates fewer emissions than conventional means, a new study shows.

Researchers have developed a plan for distributing COVID-19 tests to people's homes by drone. Getting people tests in a timely way could cut viral spread.

A sensor 30 times the weight of a dandelion seed can travel up to 100 meters in a breeze. "You could use a drone to release thousands of these devices in a single drop."

What started as simple curiosity about what makes a good paper airplane could clarify flight stability and inspire new types of flying robots and drones.

A new robot that can perch and carry objects like a bird could one day be used for search and rescue and wildfire monitoring, engineers say.
