Earthworms move through the soil not just by wriggling around, but by sending peristaltic waves down their bodies. A new bio-inspired robot, which employs that same strategy, could one day be used in ...

Scientists have known for decades that some animals use the Earth's magnetic field to help them navigate, kind of like an internal GPS. How they do it, though, remains unclear. NPR's Nate Rott reports ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are developing a new self-propelled robotic sleeve inspired by the earthworm. Earthworms move by contracting body segments in a wave-like motion, which ...
