Inspired by the biomechanics of the manta ray, researchers have developed an energy-efficient soft robot that can swim more than four times faster than previous swimming soft robots. The robots are ...

I’m sure this robotic swallowtail butterfly serves a scientific purpose. But whatever contribution it’s making to biomimetics is far outweighed by the elegance of this slow-motion video catching it in ...
