Researchers examine how 3D printing could be harnessed to make alternative protein sources, such as insects, more palatable and accessible. The growing and ageing population is expected to drive ...

It might soon be relatively trivial to make soft robots — at least, if you have a 3D printer handy. UC San Diego researchers have devised a way to 3D-print insect-like flexible robots cheaply, quickly ...

Some creatures in the animal kingdom have developed a clever trick for staying alive: pretending to be something far scarier than they really are. A new Nature study has revealed how this evolutionary ...

When engineers struggled to make 3D printer nozzles narrow enough for their needs, they turned to nature and found the ...

WHERE are all the intelligent robots? Despite huge recent strides in artificial intelligence, autonomous robots answering our every beck and call are still a long way off. To make that leap, we are ...
