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, ...

(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 ...

For three summers in a row, researchers working in the Mai Po Nature Reserve noticed something unusual drifting through the ...

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 ...

Overfishing and rising temperatures under climate change could mean more and more jellyfish at coasts and also lead to them dominating the Arctic Ocean in the future, according to new research. Thomas ...

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 brilliant blue "samurai jellyfish," Physalia mikazuki, has been discovered in Japan, marking a significant marine find. This new species of siphonophore, previously unknown, was found far beyond its ...

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

Image of a fish catching a lift on a jellyfish elevator is one of the winners of the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

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 ...
