The way Botrynema jellyfish is distributed across the ocean may reveal a previously unknown biogeographic barrier in the ...

Most people think the great white shark is the ocean predator they should fear the most. However, this type of jellyfish, statistically speaking, is much deadlier. Sharks are probably the animal that ...

At the Dabiri Lab, researchers are embedding microelectric controllers into jellyfish, creating "biohybrid" devices. For years, science fiction has promised a future filled with robots that can swim, ...

Glowing sea animals use bioluminescence powered by luciferin to communicate, attract prey and defend themselves, turning the ...

The unusual red shapes, which seemed to hover over the ocean after recent storms, prompted confusion and fascination over the ...

Since most of our planet is comprised of water - with the ocean making up over 70% of the Earth’s surface - there’s a lot to be discovered in the sea, and it’s a place that captivates at every turn.

(Nanowerk News) Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They don't even have brains. Yet, these simple creatures can easily journey to the depths of the oceans in a way that ...

University of Colorado Boulder Professor Nicole Xu is developing biohybrid robotic jellyfish by integrating tiny microelectronic systems into the live animals. Xu has about 15 to 20 moon jellyfish in ...

Climate change is putting countless marine organisms under pressure. However, jellyfish in the world’s oceans could actually benefit from the rising water temperatures – also and especially in the ...

A jellyfish "elevator" carrying a hitchhiking fish up from the ocean depths has been captured in a photo documenting one of the largest migrations in the world — one that takes place every night. Tom ...

Researchers show how biohybrid robots based on jellyfish could be used to gather climate science data from deep in the Earth's oceans. Jellyfish can't do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They ...

This time-lapse composite image shows a biohybrid robot jellyfish descending through the three-story tank designed for testing the swimming abilities of the modified creatures. Jellyfish can't do much ...
