Engineers have taught a simple submarine robot to take advantage of turbulent forces to propel itself through water. Small autonomous underwater vehicles, like the drones of the sea, could be very ...

The Denmark Strait waterfall is over three times taller than Angel Falls. Its cold, dense water drives ocean currents, sustains marine life and regulates climate globally.

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...

Coordinating groups of underwater robots is difficult because communication below the surface is slow and unreliable. GPS ...

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) play a vital role in ocean exploration, offshore infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, and defense applications. However, their mission duration ...

A deep-diving underwater glider is set to today (10) begin an epic 73,000km five year journey circumnavigating the entire globe to collect data to improve weather forecasting. The pioneering ...
