To build their visual dictionary, the researchers examined two hours of video footage each of 25 wild octopuses in a variety ...

It’s not exactly a flying elephant, but it’s still rare. Scientists searching the deep sea off the coast of Hawaii released video this month of a dumbo octopus, the deepest-living of all known ...

In order to function safely alongside human workers, robotic arms shouldn't be hard and unyielding. An experimental new arm was designed with that fact in mind, as it mimics soft n' squishy elephant ...

A recent sighting of a Dumbo octopus has gone viral, showcasing the bizarre beauty of the deep sea. Filmed by the Ocean Exploration Trust and NOAA, the video was taken while scientists explored the ...

Researchers have developed a flexible robotic arm that mimics an elephant’s trunk, capable of twisting while staying pliable in other directions. The arm can perform activities like turning off a ...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a novel robotic structure, the "trimmed helicoid," inspired by the movements of elephant trunks and octopus ...

Our genes are encoded in the DNA sequence of the genome, which is highly similar across the diverse cell types of our body. Yet, each cell can only access those genes that are in an epigenetically ...
