UC Berkeley researchers have created an insect-sized robot with the speed of a cockroach and the agility of a cheetah to potentially assist search and rescue missions. Originally developed in 2019, ...

Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small ...

Berkeley -- Many insects and spiders get their uncanny ability to scurry up walls and walk upside down on ceilings with the help of specialized sticky footpads that allow them to adhere to surfaces in ...

In a study that could bring a future world of powerful nanotechnology devices a bit closer, a UC Berkeley research team has figured out how to "grow" nanoscale wires directly on a silicon chip.

These nano-sized generators have “piezoelectric” properties that allow them to convert into electricity the energy created through mechanical stress, stretches and twists. “This technology could ...

Techniques improved could be useful on smaller scales. Daoheng Sun and Liwei Lin’s at the university of Berkeley have improved electrospinning. They enable fibers ranging from 50 to 500 nanometers in ...

UC Berkeley engineers have created the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, which is capable of changing directions mid-air and hitting small targets. On March 28, members and alumni of campus’s ...
