Most living organisms easily surpass machines when it comes to navigating real-world environments and adaptability to changing conditions. One way to bridge that gap is building biohybrid robots that ...

New research published in the journal Nature on February 26, 2025, uses advanced robotics to track the hyper-efficient supply chains formed between plants and mycorrhizal fungi as they trade carbon ...

Researchers at Cornell University tapped into fungal mycelia to power a pair of proof-of-concept robots. Mycelia, the underground fungal network that can sprout mushrooms as its above-ground fruit, ...

A recent study published in Nature highlights how researchers used a custom-built robotic system for high-throughput imaging to uncover how mycorrhizal fungi develop highly efficient nutrient-trading ...

Cornell scientists recently helped to build and study a new kind of robot - machines controlled using an edible mushroom one might expect to find attached to a tree in the forest, or on a plate in a ...

A little corner of my brain started wondering what the bandwidth capacity of the mycelial network would be, and if we could genetically engineer it for high speeds -- imagine, a self-healing network, ...
