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 ...

They might look like regular moon jellyfish, but these are not completely natural creatures. They are cyborgs – part robot, part jellyfish. They’re remotely controlled by Caltech researchers to ...

Soft-bodied robotics have long been considered the next frontier in autonomous underwater exploration, offering solutions to challenges traditional machines can’t solve—namely, maneuverability, energy ...

In a recent breakthrough in biomimetic robotics, researchers in China have developed a jellyfish-inspired “underwater phantom” designed for stealth operations beneath the surface. Created by a team ...

From testing atomic clocks at 14,000 feet to developing robotic jellyfish to survey the ocean, CU Boulder researchers continued to shed light on the world around us in 2025. They also developed new ...

In a towering aquarium in a darkened laboratory, moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) hover as if floating in space. The glow of neon lights illuminates their translucent, bell-shaped bodies as they expand ...

In a dark laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, soft pulses of light dance across the surface of a large aquarium. Inside, moon jellyfish move in slow, hypnotic patterns. Their clear, bell ...
