Researchers at Stanford University have developed a small "aircraft" that resembles a flying fish which can jump and glide over a greater distance than an equivalent jumping robot. Using a carbon ...

Tiny jumping fish can leap further as they get older, new research shows. Mangrove rivulus are capable of "tail-flip jumping" many times their body length when out of water, allowing them to escape ...

When it comes to energy efficient dynamics, engineers know that gliding is the best way to move. From giant jellyfish to manta rays, researchers have already seen that minimal motion can be a great ...
