MIT researchers developed a hopping robot that can leap over tall obstacles and jump across slanted or uneven surfaces, while using far less energy than an aerial robot. (Image credit: Melanie Gonick, MIT)

Hopping Gives This Tiny Robot a Leg Up

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can’t, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, tiny crawling robots might encounter…

A Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked material. With 100 trillion mechanical bonds per 1 square centimeter, the new material contains highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved.
