The fantasy of stumbling on a lost fortune is no longer confined to pirate tales. In deep water off Colombia and the ...

A Korean research team has created a light-driven artificial muscle that functions independently underwater, advancing the future of soft robotics. The system, developed by the Korea Research ...

NASA tests small underwater robots designed to explore icy moons' hidden oceans. The prototype called SWIM, which stands for Sensing With Independent Micro-swimmers, was constructed at NASA's Jet ...

Most of what we know about the ocean just skims the surface, literally. We’ve gathered a large quantity of data on the oceans from satellites, but most of that is based on the top layer of water.

They have also designed scientific models and laboratory experiments. Researchers make concerning discovery using underwater ...

When Jonas Wüst first met rescue divers in Switzerland, what struck him wasn’t their courage, it was how much danger still defined their work. “We realized how outdated it all was,” he recalls.

It’s not rocket science, but building an underwater robot in a week is a big challenge that Arizona high schoolers will face next week during Arizona State University’s underwater robotics camp. The ...

Marine litter is a major environmental problem. Abandoned containers and fishing gear can trap or strangle animals, and plastic waste can break down into microplastics, which can release chemicals ...

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory tested the feasibility of a mission concept called SWIM, short for Sensing With Independent Micro-swimmers. The project envisions a swarm of dozens of self-propelled, ...

What's good for fish may be good for robots, too, as researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have developed an artificial gill that can extract oxygen from seawater to run fuel cells to power ...

For Christine Dennison and Tim Taylor, pioneering ocean explorers and power couple in the world of underwater exploration, OTIS is more than just a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). It’s a labor of ...
