Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Chemists, physicists and computer scientists at the University of Warwick have come together to devise a new powerful and very versatile way of controlling the speed and direction of motion of ...

The movement patterns of microscopic algae can be mapped in greater detail than ever before, giving new insights into ocean health, thanks to new technology developed at the University of Exeter. The ...

Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are durable, microscopic aquatic animals about the size of a period at the end of a sentence. They have evolved to thrive in environments as varied as wet ...

Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...

Learn how coral reefs drive daily changes in ocean microbes — a process that shapes how nutrients and energy move through ...
