Like biological fat reserves store energy in animals, a new rechargeable zinc battery integrates into the structure of a robot to provide much more energy, a team led by the University of Michigan has ...

Researchers from the University of Michigan have created a new type battery known as a biomorphic battery that could increase the runtime for small robots by 72x. The so-called biomorphic batteries ...

15 x 16 x 22 in. (38.1 x 40.6 x 55.9 cm.) As if discovered on a walk in the forest, this hand carved wooden sculpture emulates shapes seen in nature. Osterman first scorched the catalpa wood to draw ...

Today’s robots are already capable of some incredible feats, whether that be herding sheep in New Zealand or delivering medical supplies in Rwanda. One way they could reach even greater heights is if ...

(Nanowerk News) Work in Nicholas Kotov’s lab has continued during the pandemic as researchers develop a new rechargeable zinc battery that integrates into the structure of a robot to provide much more ...
