A commercial nursery in North Carolina found the unidentified flatworms in some flowerpots. They sent it to Bertone to find ...
Inspired by marine flatworms, the innovative device offers new possibilities for environmental monitoring and ecological research. Swimming robots play a crucial role in mapping pollution ...
A new bot addresses that issue by utilizing a swimming mechanism inspired by flatworms. Although marine flatworms generally stay on the seabed, they can swim through open water by undulating their ...
The findings have suggested that the tiny flatworms could be spreading throughout the Colorado River and smaller rivers that feed into it, providing a broader expansion than previously known.
Miniature electronics for autonomous operation Unlike traditional propeller-based systems, the EPFL robot uses silently undulating fins –inspired by marine flatworms – for propulsion.
How these species can tolerate this extreme environment requires much further study. My students and I are also studying the evolutionary ecology and conservation biology of invading terrestrial ...
