Researchers have created an aquatic soft robot inspired by marine invertebrates called feather stars. The feather star robot is able to move through the water in all three dimensions, powered by only two actuators.

The XplaiNLP Research Group at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is coordinating the new EU research project FIMI-RESIST. Over the next 30 months, ten partners from research and technology, media and civil society across nine countries will examine which existing European tools designed to counter foreign information manipulation and interference perform effectively under real-world conditions. Horizon Europe, the European Union's flagship funding program for research and innovation, is supporting the project with approximately EUR 3.5 million

Two studies on critical topology have recently been published in the internationally renowned journal Nature. These studies were led by the teams of Prof. Baile Zhang at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Prof. Jianhua Jiang at the University of Science and Technology of China, respectively. Prof. Xue-Jia Yu from the School of Physics at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), served as a co-corresponding author on both papers and provided key theoretical guidance in the related experimental collaborations.

A new trajectory planning system developed by MIT researchers formally guarantees that an uncrewed aerial vehicle’s flight path will remain safe from collisions, even in unmapped environments with unknown moving obstacles.
