Ko Je-sung, a professor of Ajou University, shows a miniature robot called Rhagobot, modeled after the movement of Rhagovelia, a genus of water strider insects, during a press conference at the ...

The diversity of water strider species apparently developed as early as the Cretaceous period, much earlier than previously thought. SNSB researchers have succeeded in clarifying the phylogenetic ...

To figure out exactly how insects called water striders walk on water, researchers at MIT (where else?) have created a robotic insect called the Robostrider. Read Get the best tech, science, and ...

Discover the amazing properties of water's surface tension as you make metal paper clips float on water. You'll learn about the forces that hold water molecules together and how insects like water ...

Imagine a tiny robot, no bigger than a leaf, gliding across a pond’s surface like a water strider. One day, devices like this could track pollutants, collect water samples or scout flooded areas too ...
