A robot made of magnetic slime with a custard-like consistency can navigate narrow passages, grasp objects and fix broken circuits. It could be deployed inside the body to perform tasks such as ...

This robotic face expresses anger, joy, and other emotions based on the movements of a slime mold. But what does a grinning robot teach us about these remarkable organisms? Slime molds are single ...

You probably don't think of a magnetically controlled slime robot slithering through your gastrointestinal tract and swallowing objects, like some kind of sci-fi ooze. But that's the exact idea ...

A bright yellow slime mould that can grow to several metres in diameter has been put in charge of a scrabbling, six-legged robot. The Physarum polycephalum slime, which naturally shies away from ...

The tiny robot design, which they believe could one day be used to deliver medicine through mucus, made reality a form factor first conceptualized nearly fifty years ago. The researchers published ...

The appropriately named "magnetic slime robot" doesn't need any internal electronics -- it's a combination of several different materials, allowing it to be controlled with external magnetic fields.

Klaus-Peter Zauner of the University of Southampton, UK, developed a six-legged robot that is remotely controlled by Physarum polycephalum—a yellow slime that inhabits moist places, moves away ...

As seen in New Scientist, a magnet-based slime could reduce the invasiveness of some surgeries. The researchers aimed to combine the benefits of elastic and fluid-based soft robots. Their magnetic ...

Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a magnetic slime robot, hoping to use it in surgery. Although the slime was invented in April, a video of it encircling ...

Scientists at Tampere University in Finland and Anhui Jianzhu University in China have developed a donut-shaped micro-robot made of a special elastomer that can move in viscous liquids when ...

Or how about Tom Hardy's alter ego in "Venom"? Believe it or not, that venom symbiote now exists in real life! The black magnetic slime robot was formed at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It's ...
