Sea animals such as leptocephali develop tissues and organs composed of active transparent hydrogels to achieve agile motions and natural camouflage in water. Hydrogel-based actuators that can imitate ...

You know that awful feeling when something brushes against your leg while you're swimming? It's probably harmless, but it could be a shark, a jellyfish, or...an invisible underwater robot. MIT ...

“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water!” That may be the tagline to 1978’s Jaws 2, but it also nicely sums up the work of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who ...

A new transparent range of robots has been created called the Hydrogels, which take the form of gel based robots that can evade underwater detection and can easily catch and release live fish, as well ...
